"Be scared and do it anyway" is one of my favorite sayings in the world.

It can take some time and some tries to find the right mix of people and plot. I have absolutely struggled with that myself throughout my life, on and off. But it's soooo worth it when you finally find that right mix. It's like magic.

That is an awesome phrase, Sanne.

Is it sad I haven't heard that saying in a long while, Sanne? It encapsulates what I need to do, honestly.

It's how I convinced myself that going on vacation by myself to Canada was the right thing to do! Never been on a plane before, never even been on vacation by myself before, but I just took a deep breath and went for it. It was amazing. Sometimes being scared is useful, a lot of the time it hinders us from doing what we want to do. Bravery is being scared and doing it anyway. Everyone can be brave!!

Huh. I like that. I'm glad you enjoyed that trip to Canada, by the way! It sounds like fun.

Going on your first solo vacation, especially when it's far away, is a wild feeling.

I ended up in the hospital because my disability acted up but I was well insured and had everything covered so it wasn't all bad 😂

Truly… it’s just such a wholesome experience to be a part of this community.

Yeah, it is! I remember going cross-country by myself via bus. It was wild (and very cold) but I had so much fun. I plan to do that again this year, actually! Though it is only one state away this time, it's still a vacation by myself, so...

I think that so often, milk

I agree, Milk. There's a reason why I've been here for years now. I think this is.... almost my 11th anniversary on this site!

That's amazing!

Holy crap I just realized it'll be 16 years for me soon

June!

Same for me! I came here in June too!

It'll be 16 for me too shortly

heyyy Kim what's your favourite throwable to have thrown at you? :>

Hi everyone, darn I’m too late for office hours…😭

It's either the glitter bomb or the snowball. I think it changes depending on the weather.
