For the new members here...

[Sephirah]

Okay... I am like the wallpaper of the site. I've been here since before maybe some of you were even born... but I have to say this, because I think it's important.

I see people here giving everything of themselves to help others. To... guide others. To be the light in the darkness for people who don't know who they are. Where they fit into the world. What's best for them to move forward in determining who they should, could or can be.

It takes a certain strength of character to deal with your own issues, and still put yourself out there for others. It takes a certain fortitude to give deep of yourself to help those in need.

This is something I've seen from this site time and time again. The names change but the courage, empathy and desire to be a force for good in the world doesn't.

So I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who goes above and beyond to give that extra something of yourself to help out someone who is reaching out. It makes a bigger difference than you think. And this site is kind of notorious for doing that.

From an old lady of the wobbling candlesticks... I thank you <3
