You know, I think that being a mod on here has been a real learning curve for me. When I was asked to be a mod, I was at the point of leaving the forum because I felt that my healing journey had progressed to the point where I didn't need to be here anymore. Becoming a mod gave me the chance to give something back. I've since learnt that healing never stops. It carries on, day by day. The minute anyone thinks that they can't learn any more about themselves is the day they become stagnant and complacent. Healing is fluid. We learn from the good things, as well as the not so good. My healing journey continues.

Being a mod here has enabled me to be privileged enough to get little glimpses into people's lives, and every time I get a little glimpse, I learn more about myself. Human beings are all so similar in lots of ways, and yet we all have our own uniqueness. When we post and reply to each other, we're touching each other's lives, even in little ways, and because of this we're having an impact upon each other, from all sides of the world. Having a sense of belonging is important, and in a sense we're a community here on the forum, and everyone has equal value.

I'd like to thank all of you who have taken the time to take a little glimpse into the window of my life, and taken the time to make me feel heard. It's important that human beings feel heard. I in turn will always listen to you. I'd just like you to know that.

I feel the same. It's enabled me to be more patient around others in person as well.
