Hi @777 

 

I just wanted to reach out and welcome you to the forums - it’s great to have you here ðŸ’œ

 

In my experience, sharing the inner most parts of ourselves can take an enormous amount of courage and as such, I just wanted to say that I think that you’re incredibly brave to reach out and share this part of your story with us ðŸ’œ

 

Developing the level of trust that we need to feel safe enough to share our stories can take time and as such, I just ever so gently wanted to reassure you that there’s absolutely no pressure or expectations in relation to what you share about yourself, or when you chose to share this - just share whatever feels safe and comfortable for you ðŸ’œ

 

I absolutely love how you described yourself as a ‘fun loving’ person and I have no doubt that you’ll find many likeminded souls here!

 

With that being said, we have a wonderful light hearted thread titled the ‘Ice Memery’ which may be of interest to you ðŸ˜Š Basically, this particular thread showcases a variety of amusing memes that are bound to give you a giggle!

 

I’ve included the link to this particular thread below, just in case you would like to explore it further:

Our online community is an incredibly vibrant and supportive space that’s full of amazing people from all different walks of life ðŸ’œ As such, you’ll find a variety of wonderful conversations and online events that you’re more than welcome to participate in whenever you feel ready ðŸ’œ

 

Sometimes it can be challenging to navigate our way around an unfamiliar space. As such, if you need some support to find what you’re looking for, please feel free to reach out and I’ll do my very best to guide you in the right direction ðŸ˜Š

 

Also, just while I remember, one of the things that really helped me when I was new to the forums and still finding my way around, was that if you would like to chat with another forum member, or reply to one of their posts, place @ in front of their username just like I did at the start of my post to you i.e. @777  that way, they will receive a message that you have contacted them ðŸ˜Š

 

I look forward to seeing you around the forums ðŸ’œ

 

Take kind and gentle care of yourself,

 

ShiningStar ðŸ’œ
