This was such a beautiful post, and so full of love ^_^ I couldn't agree with you more about the fandom, it is all the things you said, to me as well. I can't imagine my life without the fandom anymore, and wouldn't even want to :)

Thank you so much for this loving post, and sharing it with us!

And I hope you won't mind me adding you as a friend ^_^

This was so beautifully worded and so very true. I have seen dark days in my life, very dark days, and fandom and my LJ friends have always been there to pull me though to the light. I know we haven't been friends for long but I am so lucky to have you on my flist and I know we'll be friends for many years to come ♥

I so know exactly what you mean. Sometimes it's just coming on here, getting the love and support from my f-list that seriously gets me through the day. I am so happy you're on my f-list too! I've had a hard few months and your comments are always supportive and helpful and I appreciate them so much ♥

Fandom is truth. Fandom is life. Fandom is home.

Finding fandom again in 2012 saved my life. At the very least my sanity. My fandom people get me.

And gods, my XF fandom people - marriages and kids and deaths and divorces and high school graduations (and how the fuck did that happen?) and we're still right here to support each other and pile on the virtual hugs when bad shit (and good shit) happens.

I'm right there with ya. Incredibly lucky to have some absolutely wonderful people in my life. It's like a worldwide handholding circle right when we need one.

It's so true and I think that too many people miss out on the beauty that is fandom and the community and relationships that it can give to you! Sometimes you guys are the ones that get me through the day! ♥
