Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Around 5 Years Ago ...

Around 5 years ago I joined KindSpring. At the time, I was depressed, lonely, unhappy, angry, life was bad and there was no hope for anything and anyone.
But you all changed that. Every single KindSpring member has helped me get out of that dark spot.
It all started 5 years ago, very very slowly at first and then faster and faster. With lots of setbacks in between.
And these days I'm so amazed at how my life has changed. I feel connected, content, happy (more days than not, anyways!). I go out, meet strangers, make friends, laugh, give compliments, do "crazy" things, I'm pushing every single comfort zone I ever had. When I started, my usual response to nearly everything had always been "no", but now my most common response is "yes, sure, tell me more about it!"
Anxiety still sometimes tells me to stay home, but I go out anyway even if I shake all over.
And it feels great.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for being who you are & doing what you're doing. Thank you.
