My communication skills are rather weak, so for that I'm sorry. It's very difficult sometimes for me verbalize anything. I will sometimes go days not hearing my own voice. But I'm trying really hard to do my best to communicate what I'm thinking or feeling, I try to say the right things, but I do seem to fall a bit short of that quite often. I wish I could be as eloquent as our fren Martin but sadly I am not. Forgive me when I stumble over my words, try to be patient with me...I was abused in ways that speaking up would garner more punishment so going quiet when I messed up was a safety mechanism and so now every time I try to speak up it's a direct act of courage on my part. Try not to get too frustrated with me I know I can be such a pain at times but I promise you I'm trying, ok? 🤍

You are eloquent in your own way and have many other gifts. First thing I learned is do not compare yourself to others. Your journey is unique. The path you walk on is different from all others. I see you planting flowers along that path and stopping to smell the pretty flowers. I too wish I had Martin's gift for written words. He is the bomb!! But, having said that, your gift is a feeling of a sense of peace whenever I read your posts. You are not being judged. Spread your wings my young bird and soar. Soar like an Eagle and know you are free..

This made me tear up 🥹
