Hi Sean! Nice to meet a kindred spirit. And thank heavens for Havi – without her, this blog wouldn’t exist, I wouldn’t have written this post and you (and I) would still feel alone. Hooray for the internet!

New to commenting on this or any blog. However, what you have written has struck a resonant chord in me. For years I have struggled to fit into a template created by Very Powerful People. I have felt as demoralised as Cinderella’s unlucky stepsisters.

Then lo and behold, there was you, Havi Brooks, Johnny B. Truant, Jonathin Mead @ IlluminatedMind.net, and countless others.

Ta very much, darlin’. I thought I was alone.

Thank you Tony! It’s also great to have met you, a fellow writer, since this post was published. We can stand shoulder to shoulder, braving the cold winds of the world, enjoying each other’s writing all the while.

These are great emotions to be in the thick of - it's great that these words are as true now as when you wrote them. It's good to know you! Tony’s last blog post..Rosetta: The Object in Question

@Ulla – Thank you!

@ Diane – That’s an interesting parallel. Thanks for the kudos too – and you’re right, we’re all already self-publishing here, and look at how much fun this is!

This reminds me of the hand made crafts/arts revival, too. People finding people making, writing, creating, producing from their center and then celebrating it. I think that self publishing is the way...and we are all doing it daily. Kudos on your site Diane McNeil’s last blog post..Chalices and Patens

Emma, what a wonderful post! I found you via Havi's blog and I am glad about that. Since the 7 months of blogging I have discovered amazing people, blog posts with much to learn from, most interesting views on the world. Thanks for showing what blogging is all about!

@ Caroline – *grin* yes, Havi’s blogging therapy course is jam-packed with juicy help on that front. And yay that you’re coming with me towards that horizon!

@ Zoe – What deep pleasure it gives me to think that I have done that for you!

@ A.J. – Wow. I am humbled. Thank *you*!

@ Elle – this expresses such a poignant thing to me – how do we revel in something whilst being so full of doubt? Is there a place or state of being that we can reach where we feel totally doubt-free about our ‘abnormal’ selves? I don’t know, but I do know that meeting people like you is going to increase the likelihood of that a great deal. Thank you!

@Blume – mmmmmm, belly dancing – I have *always* wanted to do that. I am amazed at your description of my post, thank you!

Emma, this post makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It truly expresses the reality of the internet… it can make us all “one”. What an exciting notion. Having lived in the underground belly dance community for years now, we have had this realization for some time. And oh, how it makes life worth living. To think that it can and will be possible on a much more global platform is incredible. Thank you for this post. It really does restore hope for the single individual.

PS. got the link from Havi, in case you’re counting.
