I made it to 50!

Today’s my 50th birthday. This forum is probably the only place where people can understand how miraculous that feels.
At my worst, I would never have believed I’d make it this far. (At my worst I didn’t want to) Part of me is just thrilled that I’ve completed more than half of my time here. But part of me feels as though I’ve accomplished something.
There are so many young people on here. You’re all working so hard and getting the help you need. It seems so heavy and hopeless sometimes but there’s so much potential in all of you. If I can make it to 50, there’s no telling what all of you can do! :blush:

You know, I’m so touched by the responses. On one hand, how sad that the people who know and understand me the best are people I’ve never met! But mostly I’m really really grateful for everyone on here. Thank you for existing, all of you. :heart::heart::heart:
