@Felthry, I know things are hard right now, but please, let me take over when things get difficult. I can take care of life for you while you rest. Remember that I'll always be here for that if you need it.

I'm not upset at you, I know you get worried about that. I just care about you and want you to be able to take care of yourself, including taking a break when things get too much to handle.

@Rosemary @Felthry Good to meet you. You're not the first on-board crisis manager I've met -- got one of my own, and I know a few others around here -- so if __you__ need any help, let us know. We're used to that kind of thing.

@literorrery @Felthry Oh, thank you! We're still kind of new to this; this is the third time I've been active, and the first time it's felt like I might be able to stick around permanently (which we'd both love to happen!), and the first time it's really truly felt like I'm my own individual and not a part of Felthry or one of its predecessors. It's only been about a week and a half this time, but it's going well.

@Rosemary @Felthry It can take some adjustment, especially as you start coming into your own. The leap from idea to person, from back of head to front, can be hard, but it's survivable and, above all else, it's _okay_. There are folks here who will get it.

@literorrery @Felthry I'm glad. I think that's one of the things that was missing last time around, we couldn't be open about being _us_ in any remotely public place, and that got us to doubting and eventually I went mostly dormant and/or slightly merged with Felthry (which called itself Xolroc then). The first time was really quite a fiasco and ended very traumatically, and the second time started traumatically. This time, everything seems a lot more positive.
