Friendship

My mind was in a dark place for a very long time but I had enough and wanted human contact after all those years of being alone. That day I joined, I joked about it being the best birthday gift but truthfully, it was. I finally gained the courage to move forward in my life in some way. Faced myself, faced my loneliness. It wasn't easy though. I had to talk myself into doing so and almost didn't bother. I didn't know if I would be accepted here and I was scared...but I had to know. I had to try. Before I did that, I wrote down my thoughts. How I had felt up until that point and what I wanted for myself. I found that...and more. I made sincere connections with people on here and even found my best friend. I was happy. Things are different, I'm losing more of myself each day but for now; I think it's all right to share this. These thoughts. Anyway, before I change my mind.
