Finding my way in...

I’m new here. Yesterday, I spent a good while reading through posts, I not sure why I was so shocked to find pieces of myself reflected back, outside of my family this is something I’m not used to, and something strangely comforting after holding my own stories quietly for so long.

I live mostly in observation. I feel deeply, often too deeply, so it takes me time to process language and emotion. Sitting with what I read, I realised this is a rare kind of space: safe, human, and supportive. And that’s because of your courage to share and your willingness to hold others with such open hearts.

I don’t think I’ve ever said “people are wonderful” in my life… until today Slight smile

I’m grateful to be here: to listen, to learn, to hold space, and to offer support in whatever small ways I can.

To those hurting: you are enough, and you’re not alone.
To those carrying light: please keep sharing it.

  • What a beautiful entrance. Thanks for sharing your observation with us.

    The line about never having said 'people are wonderful' until today really landed with me. It's a powerful thing to finally find a community after holding your stories quietly for so long.

    Take all the time you need to process, observe, and settle in. You are already offering support just by sharing such a thoughtful sentiment. Welcome.

  • Thank you for your warm welcome and kind words of acceptance. Acknowledging that I can’t walk this path alone is a powerful new step for me. I’m working on prioritising my needs, learning to accept myself as I am, and finding the courage to share my lived and survived experiences within the support, help, and kindness of others. I’m truly grateful to be met with such understanding. Thanks again!
