    Different expereinces give different views
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    I think the thing with support services is that something that might suit one person might not suit another @Shaunie, I know I've found some in the past and haven't stuck around because they didn't suit me aha. Everyone's so different. 
    Yeah I’ve had that too! You’ve just gotta find the right place for you

    Elefriends and beat treat everyone the same. The services are pretty equal to the mix in terms of how they treat people. I enjoy other services. They help me. I've made life long friends, been able to offer lots of support to others and am meeting a few people from the other services in August :)

    But also the mix do treat everyone the same. Better than elefriends or beat because they have a lot less users and more regular mods so they can keep an eye out more on how users get treated compared to others and have better points system. But yeah over that topic. Just triggered me thats all so stuck in my head

    @Starlight it was quiet by my standards though aha, I've been in some exceptionally busy SCs. I was at that point where I was struggling to be general enough for GC aha so yeah. That's cool about your friend, did you have a nice walk?

    @GreenTea ouch!!! That's gotta hurt! Hugs <3 

    I've gone for professional bake off for my lighthearted watch. It was on the home page of all 4 and I had to. What's the bet I'll come out of this wanting cakes?

    It's alright. Done worse haha. It's hard cutting through really thick cardboard with a craft knife. And being careful not to ruin the design I'm cutting out 😂


    Can you bake a cake tomorrow @independent_
  • independent_independent_ Community Champion Posts: 9,144 Supreme Poster
    I could if I wasn't an utterly rubbish baker aha, the people on bake off make it look so easy aha!
