I found people who are like me, some who had overcome the problems I was dealing with, giving me hope, and others who could learn from my experience, so my mistakes didn't just go to waste.

I found friends who accept me and encourage me, and don't forget me when I move away. This is a big one since I don't have a hometown and I've moved twice since finding this community, so it gives me stability.

There is a lot more too, but those are some of the biggest ones for me. Welcome! And feel free to read and get to know us. Thanks for speaking up about being here. It is nice to have the opportunity to know our new members. It really is a family here, and you will be as much a part of it as you choose to be.
