I am here to listen, lend an ear, offer a shoulder to cry upon.When the Warriors Tremble
We like to think we are warriors,
made of steel and stubborn light,
able to crush anything that dares to rise against us.
But sometimes, the world arrives all at once -.
too loud, too heavy, too much.
And the armor we wear begins to crack.
The heart races.
The chest tightens.
The breath forgets its rhythm.
And what we fear - though we know it’s irrational -
does not grow smaller for being so.
It is as big as we feel it is.
It swallows reason whole.
Thats where I am tonight -
thoughts swirling but failing to mean anything.
It feels like drowning,
and I just want to curl into a ball and sleep and sleep,
because that’s the only way I can stop the flood inside my mind.
And yet -
in the midst of the spin,
a hand reaches out.
It doesn’t try to fix.
It simply reminds: You’re still here. You’re still safe.
Sometimes that is enough.
Enough to keep your head from sinking,
enough to call your breath back home.
Do you feel this too, sometimes?
When the world presses too hard,
and your strength slips through trembling fingers?
If you ever find yourself there - say the word: “Anchor”
And a hand will appear to steady you.
You don’t have to be strong all the time.
Let us be your strength when you need rest.
We are here for you.
And to everyone reading this - -
can we offer strength when one of our friends here needs it?
A reassuring word, a thoughtful phrase,
a small reminder that they’re not alone.
Because sometimes, all it takes
is one gentle hand reaching through the noise to say: “You’ll be okay.”

This hurts more than I can say.
Lit has been my refuge - a place where I could breathe, laugh, and forget how heavy life can be. But somewhere along the way, even that light started to blur.
Right now, everything feels too much - work, home, expectations, even my own thoughts. And when something that once gave you peace starts to add to the noise, maybe it’s time to let go - even if your heart doesn’t want to.
To everyone who made me smile here, thank you. You’ll never know how much you helped me through my quiet battles. You reminded me that kindness still exists in the strangest corners of the internet.
But I need to step back - to find my center again. Maybe one day, when the storm in my chest calms down, I’ll return.
Until then - be kind to one another. Keep the laughter alive.
And if you think of me, just know I’m grateful. Always.

I had an uncle who smoked a pipe and it smelled so much better than the cigarette smoke.Christmas--for the same reasons! I can still smell the cigars my Great Uncle, a soldier in WW1, used to smoke
Remembrance Sunday here today, big occasion, emotional
