Thanks Nadia! I am ok. I’ve been writing you know what kinds of poems and soon they will change and become Jess private but I love this stage! Soon I have to find a job and a home. Have neither. Trying not to be too scared. I’m too scared. (!) so if I disappear that’s where I’ll be and I’ll be back! Thanks for your Always kind words!!!

"...my chronic conditions make touch unpleasant for me—almost like being burnt by fire, but from within." Thank you for sharing, Nadia, your courage and power come through in your writing. The tenderness you feel is so bright and clear and inspiring!

Thank you dear friend. I realized I should embrace how I show tenderness. Since touch is a touchy subject (ROFLMAO please clap), there are other ways to show it that are also valid.
