sharing, mostly for someone I'd hug :)

I used to work with a woman named Lea who would bake us cookies, foster dogs and run marathons, despite having just lost her mother (basically, her whole family) to cancer and battling a fatal brain tumor. She used to have to hold onto the cubicle walls sometimes during chemo and radiation to help her get around at work, yet still would come in

Man, I got a hug like this last night! And I just had a big cry reading this because I felt exactly the same - stupid for thinking my life is so terrible and out of whack... My hug was from my roller derby captain, after I had FINALLY reached breaking point with the amount of committment and expectation placed on the whole league this year. I just sobbed into her big, cheeseburger-loving chest and it all came out. I feel much better today though, do you?

Aw, this was sweet to read. Sad and sweet at the same time, yet hopeful? IDK how to explain it.

Anyhoo, I came here asking if we could be friends. We have at least two mutual friends that I see, and we're both 5'3. :P I don't know where you are at ED wise -- recovery, stasis, neither -- but please let me know so I can put you on a filter accordingly, should you choose to accept my friend request. :) I won't add you back until I get the okay.

That definitely hits it on the head, they way you describe it--real.

I'll add you. Currently disordered and falling down the rabbit hole; no treatment. I try to cut anything triggering but am not perfect, just so you know :)

That was a wonderful read - very sweet, very simple.

Hugs like that are the best thing in the world.
