None of us asked to be here... but we all deserve love.
Hello, Friend.
But, are we taught how to treat ourselves with that same respect and consideration? I'd venture to guess, if you are reading this, either you or someone you care about is struggling with this, and you're wondering how to be gentle with yourselves as much as you know it's good to be with others.
Okay, so in my last post, I was thinking about trying to figure out how to set up a forum-style page where people can anonymously post their stories on here. Offering a place to get things off their chests, offering glimmers of hope to others as a beacon, of sorts, to say, "You're not alone. I've been through [situation], too." But, it was pointed out to me that that wouldn't be a good idea, as much as the concept, itself, is, it would not work very well, because, well, spam is a thing.
Fair point.
...a friend brought up an interesting question: Will this be a place where people can submit stuff anonymously? I have been batting that idea back and forth in my mind like a cat with a toy. I absolutely want to offer such a thing to anyone who may need a safe space to share their story, I just don't quite know how to do that (yet). I am still trying to figure that part out. One thing I for sure hope to do here is to offer things to help as many people as I can to find their footing and get onto a path of healing.
If you have stumbled upon this blog, it is likely because you are looking for a way to learn how to cope with carrying around a lot of pain from your past. Pain that was inflicted on you when you were a child, and unable to make sense of anything. While I am glad you are here, I am sorry that you have been through such a trauma that has led us to cross paths here in cyberspace.
