@nora people like you make my heart warm (even when I was feeling DOWN) and restore my hope in humanity
@yellow everyone wants to help, sometimes they just need the door opened
@nora
@nora that is incredibly sweet and wholesome. I'm really glad you managed to help em out
This is such a great, tangible example of "if we all do a little, we can do a lot and make a difference" because so often it can feel like "*I* can't do enough" - but WE can do a lot.
@cafechatnoir yes!!!! i am learning that people want to help you just have to give them a path
Exactly. Helps folks break out of that paralysis of "oh god it's all terrible and I am only one person."
Really glad you posted about it, I'd not been over on BlueSky much today and wouldn't have known.
@cafechatnoir im really happy that people helped. feels good to be able to edit a post with "need met"
Oh that is fantastic news, especially today.
I helped, and boosted the post on BlueSky, too. Hope it helps.
@cafechatnoir thank you!! (if you want me to tell Aji I can or you can yourself since you have an account there, I just don't want to double report)
