ooo let me think, what have i learnt...

1. ive learnt there are others like me out there, and that i have alot in common with a majority of the community here.

2. ive learnt to accept myself for who i am, no fancy make-up or disguise, just simply simon hehe.

3. ive learnt that life throws everything it can at you, and i know i can withstand it and rise above anything i want to.

4. ive learnt i can face the day more than i thought, and i realise those around me who love me and offer support.

5. ive learnt that i can help others who need support. to be able to help others is the biggest lesson i have learnt here, ive always wanted to be there for others who need it, and i have learnt that i can use my life experiences and challenges to try and help guide others in similar situations.

6. and another for luck hehe, ive learnt that depression can be beaten, and issues that surround it are not bigger than my mind, and i will defeat them, with or without help. with help preferably though.
