And I dont want to come across as being like “get over it” because thats not what I mean at all. You have every right to feel mad and frustrated and sad and lonely. Just know that you are so much more than what you think you are. You are a light for your followers and people like me who lurk your pages. And I want nothing more than for you to be happy. Its obvious that you are kind and caring and sweet. Take your time to be sad. We are here, and we love and care about you, I promise.

//NO please, I don’t feel that you were saying that at all!  I’m really quite humbled by your kind message! 

I’m sorry if I’ve come across as utterly despairing, though 😦 I don’t want that to have a negative impact on others, even by proxy.  An unfortunate byproduct of internet communication and social media is that it can convey things in a skewed fashion. For instance, when I post about my personal life on here, nine out of ten times it’s when I’ve just had a terrible thing happen.  I should probably share the good days more often, because they do happen, and I am taking measures to improve my circumstances.  I just tend to be quiet about the lifestyle changes, job searches, dating, etc because they reveal my personal identity a lot and I want to stay relatively unknown here, given my work and the fact that I have enough followers that people I know IRL (including students) HAVE found this blog before, lol.  And I’d rather keep this hobby separate from IRL. 

I’m guessing you follow my personal too because I tend to be more secretive on this blog.  So we probably know each other, but even if we don’t, hugs, and thanks for indulging the impulse to reach out and comfort me. ❤ It makes a big difference. 

Hey, I just wanted to pop in and let you know that I’m glad you’re here. It’s ok to be sad and it’s ok to be angry about things. Acknowledge that, live your truth, but please don’t let that be where you stop. You are here with gifts that other people do not have, and God sent you here so you could share those gifts with the people you love. And I know things are hard and it feels like you’ve been buried, but honey I promise you, God has *planted* you. You are wonderful and you are loved.

//…oh my gosh. ❤
