I just saw these latest posts.

I don't know if the people in my "real" life understand it, but I feel lucky to have found a community such as this. So many of us are struggling with ourselves: who am I, why am I here, does it matter. To know that people here I care about, and respect, have issues makes me feel less alone in the world, and I think that it affects others here in the same way.

SG: you know I think the world of you, girl. This reprieve sounds like what you need. Use it to your advantage, and don't feel guilty that you can have such an opportunity. I see abuses of the system all the time, but to balance that are those who have earned the right to utilize the benefits, and make the most of it. You are definitely in the latter category.

Duece: sounds like you are heading up the right road. I wish you all the best. I know it's not easy.

Brianna: I miss you. You're a funny, smart person. I hope we see you around here more.
