You may never know...

I don't post here much, but I wanted to comment on something that has been on my mind for some time. I don't know how many members are on this site nor do I really care. There are real people here. Forget the trolls, the political fanatics, the fetishists, the bullshitters, the haters, the porn lovers, the selfie posters, etc. I am talking about authentic people. Those who care. Those who are struggling. Those who log in and respond with honesty, empathy, compassion, wisdom. Those who ask questions and want real answers. Those whose humour and wit make me smile. Those whose name or avatars immediately bring me to them. My inner circle consists of amazing people-they have always been special to me. Most of them gathered here from EP while others I gathered here. They matter to my heart. Real people. There are strangers here too. Some more approachable than others. Rarely do I regret reaching out on SW. Some of my dearest friends I have made in this manner. I am rambling, that is my way. Back to my reason for posting. I just want to say that you may never realize how a kind word or more may help someone. When I have time, I try to pm people that matter to me. There is never enough time as life keeps me busy. Confession? Sometimes it takes me days or weeks or longer to reply. And I always reply to pms unless they are hi or how are you from strangers. If I know someone needs help or I feel they do, I send a message. This makes a difference to them as well as when it is reciprocated. So I am encouraging the real people here to continue to reach out or to reach out to others (safely). Your words may lift spirits. You may make someone's day. You may save a life even. Just caring makes a huge difference. That's about all for today. Take care of yourselves. Reach out some. Make and keep your connections. 2022-10-12
