do you have Skype/FaceTime/any other random social media? Except Instagram and Snapchat because those two don't work well with voiceover which is what I use with my phone for the text to speech which is what reads out what you type and primarily how I type

@kat_i_am

well lucky for you I don't have Instagram or snapchat anymore lol (I'm doing a year off social media)
I do have a skype but I'd have to go find my username/password lol, haven't used it in years
I'm on facebook/facebook messenger?
but I can go figure out my skype if that's easiest

Deleted user

I like Facebook messenger but it is just about as unstable as the forum is slow

Deleted user

you know what's bad? Some people don't understand that I and most blind people like to be able to put a voice to a name

Deleted user

no, it's bad that a lot of people don't understand that

@kat_i_am

oh sorry
I'm kinda tired lol
if you'd like to put a voice to a name, we could call on skype sometime? but not atm because I'm in a room with a sleeping sister lol

@kat_i_am

Austin, my dear, you definitely belong! And anyone who says otherwise is lying.
I'm trying to think of ways to explain how I know you belong, but belonging is a very complex thing. This might sound lame, but I know in my heart that you belong. Why would anyone be anywhere they didn't belong?
You have friends and family who love you and care for you. You're pretty new to Notebook, but I know that as people here get to know you, you'll find you belong here too, and you'll never want to leave.

@ravens

I know for a fact that all of the people here will love you once they meet you and you'll find some really great friends here. You do belong, Austin.

@kat_i_am

Austin, love?
That seriously sounds like you're about to kill yourself. Please do not. Please. Just. No please don't.

Deleted user

no of course not. Probably just going to continue shutting people out

@ravens

Are you okay, Austin? You don't have to tell us what's wrong, but if you do, please know that we're listening

@kat_i_am

I'm not sure who you're shutting out, but you know, there are probably some people you shouldn't. I just met you like, yesterday, but I'd say a pretty solid list of important people in anyone's life is their family (biological, adopted, chosen, whatever your situation may be), and then your best friend, or your group of best friends.
but toxic people? shut them out. you don't need them
