Thaidakar the Ghostblood

There are times when you feel like you're down, like you're beaten to pieces, like you can't ever get up, like nobody loves you, like you'll never be enough for everyone around you, that they're all better than you, that you're worthless.

Well I'm here to tell you you're not.

You are priceless.

You are amazing.

You may not think you are, but you really are.

You are spectacular.

You are a human being who deserves to be loved.

You are someone who deserves to be heard.

You are a part of a community that loves you, despite your failings, despite your mistakes, despite what you've done, you are welcome. 

And that's part of what I love about the Shard. 

Second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth... we get to have another chance here despite anything we've done. Despite who we've been. We're all accepted here.

If you need community, if you need love, if you need someone to talk to, if you're feeling lonely in the world, there are a bunch of strangers ready and willing to be a friend to you, to me, to us, to everyone. 

When you can't find people in the real world, us on the Shard can back you up until you can find those irl who can support you.

Good night, my friends, my community, my siblings who I've never met (*laughs in theories*), my people.

And, especially...

Goodnight, you wonderful members of the Shard.
