Life Lessons
I've not posted in a while, and obviously I just kinda' hang out because a long while ago I was introduced to the community through Spoon. Then I met other folks in the community, most of which are pretty not-shit people. Some of you are, but hell, it takes all kinds, right? Right.
I was scrolling through things actually trying to find a picture spoon took 4 years ago of me holding my niece when she was all freshly hatched. Then seeing all the random threads where many many people had so many well wishes for him and I and part of me was thinking, 'wow, it's rather crazy how many things can happen in 4 years.' - now this isn't some weird thing about failed relationships, or some melodramatic bullshit. Instead, it's being grateful.
Life has thrown so many things at so many people, and sometimes people don't get back up. Sometimes people can't. But yet when people do get back up, and they look at where they came from. How low they may have felt, and yet in those moments they were loved and cared for. This is commonly looked over when someone is too wrapped up in themselves, which all people are capable of doing.
4 years ago I was dealing with D.I.D., seizures, and all sorts of bullshit. For me that was an extremely rough time - yet I was surrounded by people that cared. IRL and online. I didn't think it'd get worse, and I also didn't think I'd ever get emotionally healthy. It got worse. I got better. It got even worse, I got even better. I suppose this is me saying thank you, fuckers. For being there when I was all sorts of god damn fucked outta my head. I know I can be a cunt, but hey, estrogen.
Life is, in my opinion, learning to deal with everything. Hopefully one day I'll be able to help y'all somehow. (Even if it's me disappearing from the forums for long periods of time).
p.s. holyfuck i'mma be 28 in August.
p.s.s. - srsly guise, y'alls some chill assholes.
