 Sad in AZ (original poster member #24239) posted at 2:06 AM on Sunday, December 8th, 2013

I'm trying the local brewery tonight. It's in a crowded downtown area, which is scary for me. The beer is good, my favorite local band is playing...we'll see. The crowd's way too young...meh.

What I'm trying to say is...you can do this

You are important and you matter. Your feelings matter. Your voice matters. Your story matters. Your life matters. Always.

The beer is pretty good; so it the music. I got to hear them last night too--geez, I'm becoming a groupie.
