Hey guys! I just want to say a quick hello. For the community I feel as if it should have a forum, therefore this can be a thread. I can post a new topic for people to discuss, or maybe place a note or message. Maybe it will just be a quick hello.
Here are a few rules I want to be followed, just to make this a safe place for everyone:
One. Absolutely no fighting.
There's no need for that, especially in this community.
Two. No judging.
We only support one another here.
Three. Try not to swear.
If you happen to do so, be considerate of others. If you direct it towards someone else, or insult another user, you will be removed.
Four. No spamming.
I don't want to see advertisements for a website, or anything unrelated to this community. If you would like to suggest a story that fits into our community, that is allowed. Any comment is allowed so long as it has to do with our community and you are not being forceful or being inconsiderate.
Five. No rude comments, or any comment that can hurt someone else.
Honest truth that is meant to help someone is allowed. Maliciously beating someone down is not allowed.
So far that's it for rules. That's all that really seems necessary. I may add more later.
OUR GOALS:
Make Some Friends!
I want every person to at least make one or two new friends from this. That doesn't mean you have to stop at two or three! :P
Have a Safe Place Where Everyone Feels Welcome
We accept anyone. We are here for everyone. I know it's hard to find a place to just be yourself, but I want this place to feel like that for you. A place for you to totally be free.
Keep People Smiling
No one should ever feel sad. No one should ever have to feel alone, or feel like they have no one. We're all in the same boat. So smile! You're amazing.
Understanding One Another
If you've ever felt like no one else in the world understands, try to make them understand. We're willing to listen, so please share.
No More Cutting
One day at a time, then one week. Please, put the blade down. Your skin is beautiful, you are beautiful. A lot of other people within the community here know what it's like to cut, so maybe pair up or find a group and urge each other one day at a time to not take the blade anywhere to your body.
Become a family.
Always.
Remember what I said about looking through comments, because that seems like the best way to find someone to talk to. Don't be afraid to openly ask, "Is there someone who wants to talk?"
You might not get an immediate response, but I'm sure someone will lend an ear. And if not, you can always say, "I really need someone right now." And people will know how urgently you need comfort. And if any of you see someone comment that, please don't ignore it. Even just a simple message asking them what's wrong can help them and brighten them up even just a little bit.
If you want someone to comfort you, you need to comfort them as well. If you want someone to be your friend, you have to first be theirs.
Let's start with something! Our first topic will be birthdays! Tell me your birthday so I can place a reminder. :)
*Remember to check back on the Birthday's list in case it's someone's birthday! And make sure to say happy birthday! :D
Enjoy this site and remember to keep on smiling, because you're beautiful when you do that, no matter what you might think. :)
SPREAD THE LOVE. XOX :*
