Thank You for Saving Me

I found WDC accidently. My mom brought me my mounds of notebooks from my old room in her house. Most of the writings in it I had forgotten I had ever even written. My entire life had been stored and saved in refridgerator size boxes. I'm not a junk collector, in fact I'm so afraid of inheriting my mom's disease of pack-ratting that I compulsivley give things to charity. But I could never part with all the words I had written in these boxes. I decided instead to upgrade them all to the technology of these days and store them all on my computer. After using a huge chunk of space on my home-made scrap computer, I decided it would be smarter to find a place to put them all online that way if my computer ever did crash, my writings would be safe in cyberspace. And that's how I found WDC.

Within a week, my free membership space was full. Beyond that, I had found a few great friends. In that period of my life, and actually even now, I had lost the majority of my friends. I was the local party girl and people used to love to be around me. Wherever I was, the party was. Somehow, I believed that those friends were forever, but I was wrong. When I got pregnant, my money all went to saving up for my child and the drugs dissappeared. Along with the money and drugs, those so-called friends vanished as well. Suddenly I was single mom with only my daughter to confide in. Somehow, amidst loosing everyone I ever thought cared, I gained friends who actually did.

The Angel Army paid for my first upgrade. All I sent was a simple email telling them about how much more I still wanted to share on WDC. The upgrade came almost immediatly after.


Three months later Stacy had invited me into her new group, BSFU. For the first time in my life, I felt at home. Of course back then the group was a small one, with less than 20 people. I spent my time telling everyone about the group. Through my few days on WDC I had encountered so many people who wrote through pain and depression. I often did reviews talking about how funny it is that it takes a mental disorder for some of us to write so beautifully. Now instead, I sent those people to the group. Stacy's way of thanking me was saving my upgrade before it even got close to running out.

Now, BSFU is Images In Ink and a huge sucess. I have made so many friends on WDC, real friends, friends who make me feel like I am no longer invisible. And now, because of those friendships, my upgrade has been saved once again.

I still don't even have half of the things in those boxes online. I keep getting wrapped up writing new things everyday and participating in events all over WDC. I'm even to the point of asking for only two things for my birthday and christmas this year - $200 worth of GPS and another save to my upgrade. I think my family is starting to realize how important WDC is to me. And if they don't already, they will very soon.




Thank you all once again,
