You know, others have said this many times before. I don't think I ever "got it" until now.
Maybe it was the Shakespeare. I'm a sucker for Shakespeare.
Or maybe it's because I recently really needed the community, and reached out in absolute certainty that somebody would "get it" with me and would reach back. Many someone's did. If I lost that absolute certainty and/or the ability to reach out and to be met with support, kindness, caring, and love, I think I would be devastated.
Thank you, Gabbi, for saying what you did. It made me think about the blocking issue in a new way.
