I Want to Make a Difference In the World

I do make a difference in the world. We all do.

I volunteer my time as an admin for a mental health group on Facebook. I have talked people out of killing themselves, propped them up in times of trouble and pain, and lifted them from despair and depression. Sometimes all we need is to know we're not alone and that people do care, even if we don't "know" each other.

That's very thoughtful. I bet it can be stressful at times.

@Brawny Sometimes it's very stressful. Our group has nearly 3,000 members. It can be a lot to manage and take in. But I enjoy being able to offer support and advice as someone who's been there and done that. I'm just paying it forward.

@girl4god Cool, cool. There's a lot of personal stories out there and I"m sure you have a better understanding what people are going through.
