Well, thanks for being so awesome. ;-)

Thanks. Hoping everything well for you.

I wish I could go shopping with you in a big city department store cosmetics department and smell all the perfumes and try colours on our skins. Then we would sit down for coffee and bitch about people we loathe for like hours.

im OK. how are you??

Thanks girl! How are you? I hope all is well.

Don't thank me, thank the one holding that camera

Of course!

Sorry, sweetie. Hugs.

Yes, took it 2 days ago. Thanks!

Thanks for the rep. For some reason I've become motivated by fear of what will happen if I don't study. It's not even a rational outcome that I'm imagining, I just think that something terrible could happen if I don't do it. It's driving me crazy, just two weeks of semester left now though I think.

Thanks. It's hard picking the right area, though, plus the right school. I'm not sure where people more like me would tend to congregate exactly, you know? Big cities seem to have "every kind," but they also tend to overwhelm me.

Thanks. It's such a tremendous relief to take down my own walls, but ripping up the foundations is harder. And even stumbling out into freedom...is such a tricky thing. Trying to navigate the strange world of human interaction, with creatures who seem SO different. And then, of course, it's not like I'm willing to accept bad treatment just because I'm not willing to let self-protection imprison me in isolation. It's a necessary thing that should be done prudently while in the process of trying to achieve a bigger, more important goal: worthwhile connection. However, I've definitely decided I'd rather err on the side of risking a little pain than being too vigilant. At this point in my life, I actually think I could handle it better. As to the difficulty of finding like minds IRL, I'm hoping to pick a grad school in an area where there's a larger a concentration...? Easier said than done, if feasible at all, lol.

Thank you, so good of you
