Title: 1st anniversary @ OOTS
Post by: Dutch Uncle on May 14, 2016, 07:08:12 AM
Hi all,

Today is my first anniversary here.
Thanks so much for allowing me to be around, and thanks so much for all your insights, your support, your questions, your reflections and giving me a place to share my story, my experiences, my grief, my joy, my confusion and my peace without invalidating judgement.

This is the first and only place where I am not an outcast.

Thanks so much, without you all I wouldn't have made it this far.  :fireworks:

I know it's late (thought I'd already replied) but that was on your human birthday) - so glad you joined and glad to have you here. It's been a whole year! I think u should do something nice for yourself for joining- to celebrate doing something good for yourself (if you can - hopefully not too triggering).

Congratulations. :yourock:

Those of us who feel like outcasts have often just been spending time with the wrong people!

Thanks for being here Dutch.  I've only started to post over the last few days but I have been mining information here for months and probably visited this OOTF site early in it's infancy years ago.  So many good people helping out others.  Truly remarkable.  Thank you for your input.  I admire the spirit of you and everyone else here that wishes to pay it forward.
