A note to recent visitors

Most of you came here via an outside link to my "Long Story." I want to thank every one of you personally. For reading, and especially for commenting. Since I began writing this series, several people have linked to it. That was a bit scary, but the feedback was positive.

Today brought tons of traffic compared to what I've experienced so far in the two months this blog has been in existence. I braced myself for the next level of the unknown, jumping a bit whenever I got a new email alert. When I made the mistake of looking at my statcounter, my chest tightened and I felt a bit panicked.










Heck, look at this thing! You'd stress a bit too if that spike represented a 12 hour period, resulting from one outside link to the depths of your inner demons!

Here's the kicker: It's still okay. The comments have been phenomenal. I had no idea just how touched and... wonderfully speechless I'd feel. Every single comment has given me more inner strength than anything else has all these years. I had no idea just how powerful that would be.

When I decided to take the leap and write of my experiences, I did it with the hope that I and others might gain something from it, only to be blown away by just how much I underestimated that.

Thank you for the gift you've given me.

As for everyone else, I promise I'll find something to be snarky about soon. I'm multi-demensional that way!

I'm glad it's been such a healing experience for you. And I'm here (as a reader) to stay - it's not often that a first look at a new blog reveals what an incredible person that blogger is!

aw, we love you. Even if you're only a psuedo-feminist.

*nyah nyah*

Ok, seriously: you are really strong and I thank you for posting your story. One day maybe I will, but as it is I'm busy trying to post about my sex work background which is hard and trying in and of itself. You rock, all kidding aside.

Manxome,

It's amazing just how freeing it is isnt' it?

Since I began writing my story I feel so much...lighter. I don't know how to describe it really, except to say that I feel lighter.

You are an amazing feminist with a powerful voice. I'm so glad that you are out here fighting the fight alongside of so many other wonderful voices.
