It's rough out there. I could go on and on but losing 3 relatives to covid, trying to be an advoate and and a positive force in my community, it's so easy to get lost and forget who you are or how good people are. I fell into that and realized I have to step back from advocacy and get back to being me and the little things in life. I was so happy ro recieve 2 pieces of beautiful mail from u/thebearfamily and u/mareepharos in my fav styles. People don't know your struggles. I'm coming to learn mine and it's been getting at me hard and to recieve these when I felt so low. It's legit people out there that care about me. Insignificant me who is not special or put together, who is clumsy and tries and keep trying. I have people that think about me. And it motivated me to get up and move. Even if it was one step a day, just to have inspiration from you 2 to just move forward has been the motivation I needed. Merci, merci, merci. I literally look to the sky and close my eyes and feel so much gratitude in your mail. Bear family, your art is amazing. If you check my insta, you'll see my shrine. I bought a little shelf just for the painting. Mareepharos, you get me. You get me as a best friend does and I've never had a best friend so I keep your card in my car. I do brag about my bestie in my journal (sorry if that sounds weird). I'm humbled and blessed to be a part of this group. Who ever thought of it, it has changed my life. And it's cheaper than therapy. In a world of good, you guys are great and in a world of great, you are the exception. Much love.

I have to edit and say I'm not lucky like some people. I don't have friends to hang out with or family with cousins and aunts and uncles and stuff.My mom died 10 years ago so it's just me, hubs and my 2 furry guys. I even feel alone in my marriage at times.Even growing up we moved so much I never got to experience what community feels like but here I get it. I feel it and it's so healing.
