I Am Back

I left SW a couple of months ago -- just too much tough stuff to deal with in my world -- no good to anyone -- felt bad about bringing negative energy to my friends. I didn't think it would get better any time soon. I erased my history here (more or less) and deleted my account.

Or at least thought I did.

A few days ago, I wanted to check my email and, through force of habit (and browser history), inadvertently ended up back here instead of at hotmail, arriving to a message asking me if I wanted to "reactivate my account". For reasons I don't quite understand, I did.

That was the best decision I have made in a long time. There are good things here. There is light in the darkness.

I'm know that I'm a long way from being back to the way I was, but I have realized something. I don't want to go back to the way I was.

I want more. And to my surprise, "more" doesn't seem like such an impossibility.

I, for one, am extremely glad you have returned. SW wasn’t the same without you. I’m so happy that you didn’t hit the delete button. I have a feeling your light is going to continue to shine much brighter in the very near future, and the world will be all the better for it.

Welcome back, RR! ✨

@GlamGirl Thank you GG. I am extremely glad I have returned too. It's good to see you back active here too.

Your "feeling" seems like an awful lot to aim for, but who knows? There is a light shining through the darkness.

See you at the top! @RealtaReoite

It's so good to have you back. And I'm betting you will find a way to get that more you so richly deserve.

@diablesse Thank you so much, Dia. I'm no longer betting against the "more" thing. We will see.

Many of us are very glad you’re back.

You belong here, even if you feel terrible. Maybe especially if you feel terrible. This place can be like panning for gold - but once you’ve found a good group of friends, it can feel wonderful.

We won’t abandon you when you’re feeling terrible. And when you’re feeling better, we can have fun. Remember fun?

@SmartKat Thanks Kat. Actually, I think I'm feeling way better than terrible. Heck, I'm well on the way to thoroughly mediocre. ;-)

Maybe even better than that.

I sort of remember fun... I think. That was when we all enjoyed what we did on here, right?

It's good to see you back....and on your way to a positive place.
There is some good that comes from this place. :)

Best wishes 🤗

@ImpeccablyImperfect Thank you. There is a lot of good in a lot of places. :-) Including here.

There is always more :) Welcome back. I wish you all the best on your path to fulfillment!

@HoneyBeee Thank you for the kind thoughts. Much appreciated.

@RealtaReoite same here

I don´t know you and obviously don´t have a clue about the issues you mention here but it´s true the site (and others) can either lighten us up or make us upset, (just posted about this). So...best wishes for you to get only the good grass here and avoid the weeds.

RealtaReoite · 61-69, M

@SW-User thank you for the kind words. You are right about the people on here.

I am blessed with the greatest friends. Those who replied to this post, for instance. Nothing weedy about any of them.

I'm so lucky.
