But there I go, nerd-hair-splitting again. . . Still looking for ways to get that compulsion under control.
Welcome to the DS, DC. May you find healing hope and companionship here.
I know too well that deep deep longing to be held. Took me a while, but I did make it through to the other side. I know it's not easy.
