Whenever we decide to break away from the main flow of people, it can feel very lonely. That beautiful thing about the internet is that we can discover that there is an entire subculture and network of people who are also doing the same. They may be spread all over the world, but it helps to be able to connect with people choosing the unconventional.

And we are all healed up and healthy! And happy. Thanks for asking.
