I've been taking readers

through my journey for

the last twenty years now.

A lot of you here helped

me grow, unconditionally

accepted me, and taught me.

I was a pretty broken gal when

I arrived on this site in 2005,

and that brokenness carried on,

But you saw me through it

with your kind words, your

patience, you were there for me.

I know our relationship

may be unusual, but it's the

only way I could have them,

So to me your friendship

is the real deal in every way;

we've been talking for 20 years.

I don't think words exist to

really convey my gratitude,

mais thank you, you helped greatly.

Seriously, I wouldn't have made it

without you around all these years,

that's without any doubts for me.
