I'm glad in a way that I am getting here fairly recently after this was posted because if this had a bunch of replies (most likely not a single one mentioning me) it would be far too painful, triggering and utterly upsetting. Anyway there are some members I can absolutely think of who have helped me at some time or another, I feel terrible in a way to single people out because I know how bad it feels to NOT be mentioned, but I will mention them anyway because this is in NO WAY a popularity thing of any kind, it is only of an absolutely sincere, because-they-truly-did-care-and-helped-me-in-some-way kind of way
@Autumn1973 - I will never, ever forget the fact that you DID mention me in a public forum post, and I absolutely meant it when I said that meant the world to me and was one of the nicest and most surprising forms of acknowledgment I ever got from a non-family member in my whole life
Also for all the discussions we ever had because even though there were parts that confused me or caused me to be unsure of what to think or feel, I also did sense the sincere purity that was behind everything you said and that was an absolute delight to be a part of. Thank you for being you.
@Bbear82 - I'm guessing you'd probably rather I not say very explicitly why so I'll just say because of some of the words that have been exchanged, they have been very sincere and thoughtful and meant a lot to me. It's been rare that I've felt so seen and appreciated.
@Cagla - For your kind, supportive comments in my poems thread, for reading my poems whenever I post new ones in there (or at least clicking like on them which still means a LOT to me for sure!) and also for sharing your own wonderful poems. I admire your talent, very much!
@1964dodge - For always giving such sincere, thoughtful advice and making so much effort to help others feel better in the "How are you feeling today?" thread and elsewhere on the board. I think it's truly remarkable how you are able to be so strong to help others even when you aren't even feeling very strong yourself. It's very inspiring and makes me want to be a better person too.
@Walker - For talking to me about some of the most upsetting things I've ever experienced in my life, I still wish we could perhaps continue the convo but I understand people get busy. I'll most likely never stop wishing we could talk daily, or at least weekly, and yes I realize that makes me rather sad. Don't really care much about judgment (from anyone I'm meaning here) at this point though so whatever. Also cos I love your enthusiasm when there's things you want to know more about, you don't hold back at all you just say "I want to see that!" and I love when people are like that, very much
@Aurelia - For talking to me, being strong, smart, interesting and just a very inspiring person. I enjoy reading your posts and always find them very easy to read. I think it's that you have an engaging way of talking that keeps things interesting or something like that. I admire you a lot
@Baywasp - Again, for talking to me because I greatly admire you too. I like how you seem so easy-going, and also I envy that you've gotten to live in a city that I want to go to so bad but most likely never will be able to. I am very happy for you that you got to live in such a cool place and all the other things you've spoken of doing, it all sounds great and like you've had lots of interesting experiences in life. If I will never be able to get to actually enjoy doing those things myself, then hearing/reading you speak of it will still be a very enjoyable experience imo
LOTS of other people too but there is a tag limit in posts after all lol. Thank you ALL for being you though, everyone here is great, strong, inspiring and special in their own unique ways though so if you are not on this list and we've talked in PM or elsewhere on the board, please don't feel bad that you weren't mentioned in this list it does not mean I don't value you very highly as well
Sending lots of hugs to those I mentioned and everyone else too, hope you have a nice day
) It's amazing really that you're willing to go out of your way to reach out and spend some time with someone while needing help yourself. I can't even post anything or reply to mentions (sorry) here when I'm feeling a little off. So you people keep going and I wish you all strength to keep helping other people. You guys are the bes! Have a great day and THANK YOU 💜
