- First, yes indigo, (from previous comments) I am feeling fear. Part of that is because I keep hearing or reading horror stories of people getting kicked out of their communities. I also don't know if I can defend myself. But I remind myself I do know people who love me no matter what. I know my community's judgments so well I can hear in my head all the things they would say. People say I am quite brave. I do brave things often. However, in this area, today at least, fear is stronger.
- Second, I think once in a snoopy cartoon or some old school movie I saw a kissing booth. I wish such a thing existed today. It sounds so innocuous and would give me a chance to surify (I know that's not a word) that which I suspect. Probably this is my brave risk taking side talking. Wish there was such a thing.
- And third, I am thinking about going to this bible study. . . probably it would be good for me. It would be a totally bold, brave, risk taking move for me. . . I am just thinking about it still though.

That's totally cool! I'd go with you to support you, but the ground transportation would kill me. Keep us posted. - Zu
