Let's get to know each other a little bit
So now that we've got a decent base here I'd like to have a space for people to just sorta be able to talk a little bit about themselves without pressure if they'd like to. Some of the stuff they're going through if they'd so wish, some hobbies or strategies you use to get through life in general (has been pretty shitty in general lately), maybe what they're hoping for from here. Nothing is required, say as much or as little as you'd like. Suggestions for this place are a-okay too if you've got some
I've already posted a bigger post about some of my past, but heyo, nice to meet everyone, y'all can call me whatever you like, I'm the creator of this space. I want everyone to feel like they can come to me with whatever they need, sorta open door policy I suppose. I want this to be more of a community project and less of a 'my' project kind of thing so any suggestions or the like are very welcome. This is OUR space.
I've been a guitarist for a long time, decades, until my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome started hitting me really hard. Especially in my fingers. It got really hard to play anything I used to be able to play, and then it got hard to even play basic chords; things I could play within my first 6 months of picking up a guitar become impossible. I haven't been able to play in years and it's hit me pretty hard. Alcohol has been a good friend, arguably TOO good of a friend, but it kills the pain like nothing else does. Mostly physical but mentally too. I'm in a good head space now but the depression never entirely leaves you and I've found I've been leaning more and more heavily on alcohol as a crutch. It's a thing I am aware of at the least, I know it's not healthy for me but shrug it's better than the alternative I feel. At the moment.
Hi everybody! I have been given the honor of being made a mod of this community, and I wanted to introduce myself to you all as such.
I have never actually moderated a community before, so I will no doubt make mistakes. I promise you that I make every attempt to learn from my mistakes.
