I'm not sure I really fit in with all of you tbh 😔

I just feel like an outsider trying to fit in somewhere I really don't.

I was on EP from 2012 till the end. Then SW from day 1 til September 2017. I came back 3 months ago & idk.. I kinda feel like I shouldn't have.

A lot of you have built bonds here & even though I remember the majority of you, nobody remembers me & I missed so much of SW's existence in general that I just feel like the 'new kid at school'.

Some of you talk to me & I appreciate that but some of you blatantly ignore me & only talk to the people you know... Which is funny to me because I know you all too. Just none of you know [i]me[/i] anymore 😕

Hi there 👋🏻
I don't believe that I knew/know you or if I did, I don't recall.
I feel the same way now and then. I mean, yes, I've made some amazing connections here, and consider several friends. But, then I'll see many users post and all the back/forth interaction on the posts and feel so out of place. I want to comment too, but some of my comments are ignored, while others will be hearted, hugged and replied to, so then I figure... Why bother!? 🤷‍♀️
Anyways, I'm late in saying welcome to SW, but going to say it anyway. Welcome!

@JerseyGal your name looks somewhat familiar to me, did you have the same name before? But yeah that's exactly what I mean. Like I've never had an issue with anyone here.. everyone's been cool. Even way back on EP I've never had problems. I just feel like I missed out on the friendship a lot of people have here because I wasn't here for it all. That's all.

But thank you for the open arms 🤗

Back when I was on EP, then for many years here, my name was HeartWings, then I finally changed it.
Same here. Never have really had any problems with anyone here or on EP...it's just me, I guess and the feeling I get.

You're very welcome! 🤗

Why thank you! I like this one better also. Love the meaning behind willow trees. 😌
I appreciate that, and likewise. You can consider me a friend also if you wish. 🤗
