	My last visit to SI was 2019 but for some reason I decided to come check it out again.  There is something so comforting about it...to see so many familiar names and to go back to old posts. Its also a little triggery and eye opening.  Perhaps I should stick around for a bit.

	I found that coming back was a trigger at first, but then realized I had come so far from where I had been that I now had the insight to hopefully help others.

	Hi again, Alyssa! Glad to know you're doing ok.   Totally understand it can be triggery. I feel that way about some of the forums here.

	I have always wanted to have the insight to help others that some people on here seem to have so naturally. 
 
 
	Agreed, I have definitely come a long way from who I was when I first started here and have made many changes.  But I guess there is always room for improvement.
