((((fadedspirit))))

Just wanted you to know we are here and do care. Maybe there was no comments necessary, but we wanted to reply. You are not alone my friend even though it feels alone. We do hear you and we do care. So many times nothing makes sense, nothing seems to come together. But you are making sense my freind.

I know that feeling of not fitting in and not belonging is strong, but where is that mold that makes one fit in? Who is getting to tell us where we fit in and where we do not? Leaving it to the ones that did this is not where that decision lies. It lies within each one of us making our own way out of the lies and deceit we have all been through.

The truth is you do belong and you do fit in. Maybe we are like the misfit toys that was on an animated Christmas show left on an island stranded because they were broken or missing a part or not painted just right. But those toys made a difference to boys and girls who would otherwise have none.

I think we all make a difference to each other giving strength and support, encouragement and hope where it seemed to never have been before. We are all different which makes us unique. We come together where we have felt we never belonged to begin to belong here. We understand each other in ways others cannot or simply refuse to understand.

We accept one another for how we are and offer hope where sometimes hope never was. Reaching out at times when it seems no one is there and caring for another who is hurting. Sometimes when it feels no one is around there is always someone that reaches back with understanding, a hug, and/or a hand of friendship so we know we are not all alone.

Please know that we care faded and are here for you. Keep reaching. I hope you know how much you mean to us and many here. You have touched many through your words and caring too. Sending you gentle hugs and loving thoughts. Always.
