D'jever wonder why I post so much goofy stuff and "you are beautiful" types of posts?

Well, firstly, I believe it.
Secondly, I'm a naturally optimistic person.
Thirdly, I realize not everyone has the same sunny disposition I do. In fact, I can't even claim to be in the majority.

There are millions of people in this world that are lonely, clinically depressed, fighting battles of the mind and body beyond normal human endurances.

And there are many people reaching out from their personal dark corners looking for just a little light to give them a sense of hope that someone, anyone, understands.. that someone, anyone, cares.

People use social media as a life-line to the outside world or as an attempt to have some escape from their reality a few moments at a time. Depression is serious business. I can't even imagine how I would feel if I was depressed and then saw only dark and negative statuses on my feed.

If my words or the pictures I share can give even one person a fleeting smile or a moment of joy on an otherwise hectic, frantic, hassled, difficult, or dark day.. then I feel I have done what I was put on this earth to do.

Thank you to all of you for allowing me to bring you a ray of sunshine from time to time.

All of this!
I have never been in a more diverse and caring online space. Those who care, as you do, to dilute the perfectly valid dark things that are here, with some light. You are one of several women (and it *is* mostly women) who between you have posted the things which get me through the bad days.

It's appreciated more than you know.
