The latter half of 2023 has been a wild ride for me. So much has changed in the past few months after I got on this website. I’ll highlight some of them here:
First, I’ve finally let go of my trauma and let the world know about it. I’ve finally let other people try and help me with the problems I was dealing with at the time. It feels like just a few days ago I had this life changing moment. I still feel like I’ve got a long way to go, but I appreciate these first steps.
Second, I’m starting to socialize again, after 8 years of being isolated and alone. I’m starting to talk with some of my acquaintances more often, and I’ve got my hopes up for getting an actual friend. It’s honestly so nice to have something like this after craving it for so long.
And third, I’m feeling much better emotionally and psychologically. Now that I have a place to go to when I’m down, I’m getting a bit more self-confidence about the future. With all these needed changes, I feel as though it will be steadily going uphill from here.
I cannot thank everyone for helping me on my journey so far. It’s incredible how a few words of comfort and encouragement can change so much about a person. I’ve seen people here come and go, either as simple users or active volunteers, just know that all of you are appreciated by me. I appreciate your efforts on the platform, be it by offering help or simply venting out your problems. It’s just as daunting to come up with helpful replies as it is to write your struggles down for everyone to see. I respect all of that effort.
But for now, I hope you all have a nice end of the year. 2023 may have had it’s highs and lows, but another year has passed once more. Time still marching on, the world still spinning, the people changing. I hope you all had a pleasant time here on the website.
May the stars guide your path.
Sincerely me,
Cora.
