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.

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?
