Your Person Doesn’t Have to Be a Person

Hello everyone 👋

This is my first forum post, so I thought I’d start with something meaningful.

Since it’s February—the month of love—I wanted to ask: who is your person?

This doesn’t have to be romantic at all. It can be completely platonic. It’s the person you turn to when things feel like too much, the one who supports you and helps ground you. And your “person” doesn’t even have to be a person—it could be your pet, a safe place, or even this platform itself.

I’m still fairly new here, but I’ve already seen how warm and supportive this community is. There are so many people willing to listen, and that alone can mean so much.

For me, my person would have to be my stepmom. When things get hard, she tells me the truth I need to hear—even when it’s tough—and she never sugarcoats it. That honesty and support mean a lot to me.

I’d love to hear from others if you’re comfortable sharing. 💛
