I have subbed to FDS for awhile, but didn’t really read a lot, although a few seeds were planted. After breaking things off with my LV fiancé a few months ago, I’ve been reading everything in here and the sister subs pretty religiously. I am in my early forties, and I truly wish I had a community like this when I was younger instead of going through adulthood as a pickme and wasting years on scrotes and LV friends. Oh well - better late than never. I love this sub and I appreciate all the women here and my eyes have been opened. It will be a long time before I am ready to attempt to date again as I have been in therapy for the last several weeks, but the sheer volume of leveling up advice is really helpful and gives me some great food for thought.

Edit: Eeeeee! My first gold, and on a post that’s meaningful to me no less. Thank you!
