I Will Tell You What Is Behind My Username

I used to be Ocean Depths, because I lived there, exploring the Depths of despair. Other people's despair, I thought, until I later realised that by exploring theirs, I was in turn creating my own world filled with it.

So, I became CouldsOfLife. Because I moved up, but in a fluffy, kind of non-directional sense into a place where I started looking after myself more and more, little by little.

Now is the moment I launch and start creating the world I want to live in. A part of that is Open Firesides. It's what it's all been leading up to: this is a meeting of people in real life, around a fireside, talking about and sharing responses to difficulties they are facing or experiencing - of any kind. Keeping it above water, in the open, and among strangers allows a much more positive outlook on it all, and much more effective learning to take place.

So, a new phase :)
