What have you learned from being here at SW? Feel free to share. Or inflict.

1. There are great people here. You might have to look with the Hubble telescope, but you'll find them.

2. On the other side of the coin, there are people here who are too damaged or broken to be a real friend. Some of them are the worst fake phony frauds of them all, singing your praises for one minute, then blocking you with no explanation the next. Best not to take it too personally. Block their asses right back.

3. Everyone has a place here. You can even fit in by not fitting in. Yes, it's true.

I’ve learned to appreciate a lovely moment and not expect it to be more than that.

I’ve learned how narrow my perspective has been most of my life and how much I would have missed had I not been open to expanding it, even if it’s not all sunshine and roses.

I’ve learned that isolation isn’t as safe and cozy as it would have some of us believe and that inspiration is right there just waiting for you to crack that door.

I’ve learned that there’s balance to be found, and you can complain about one side and let it blind you to the other, or you can delight in one side and acknowledge the other. Both sides exist, but one demands more of your energy.

I’ve learned that there are treasures in a melting pot.
