An open letter to Elenore (rough draft, trigger warning)
« on: July 26, 2010, 08:33:11 PM »
(Just to let you know; I know that she's a anime character in this universe. But I believe that in some alternative reality a thought form named Elenore Baker lives happly with her Margaret in her Nafrece.)

Dear Ms. Baker

    As I'm quite aware that you may not read nor even get this letter. But I feel compelled to write to you.
The reason that I'm writting this to you is simple yet complex. At the heart of it all I sincerely want to thank you.
For what for; well here where it gets complex. I have complex post truamatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) due to abuse, rape, assault. As well as depression and social anxiety.
Through art work and my own fan writings and internal and PTSD work, I have in a sense dragged you through my own personal hell. I do sincerely apologize, what I went through I wouldn't wish on most people, yet I inflicted my pain on to you, a kind hearted person.

I've admired your internal strength and ability to cope with trauma and through you I've rediscovered or re-realized my own.
Because of it, I've been able to do things I wouldn't have thought to even consider a few years ago. I've seen glimpes of the woman I am underneath all the trauma, pain and depression and I know she's there. Eventually I will reach her and hopefully with your assistance.
I'll stop as I do fear I'm starting to ramble.
Again, I would sincerly and gratefully thank you for all you've done.
Thank you.


Sincerly yours in friendship,
Kari W

Thirded.  :) Are you sure you want to post your last name on a public forum, though?
Am I supposed to just walk up to someone and say 'Hello. My name's Kirika. I kill people in my spare time'?

Taco taco tacosu has a whole new meaning now. Thanks, Kakashi.

Just a question, and you don't have to answer, but what does "Trigger Warning" mean?
Is it like a spoiler warning?

Thank you all....


As for my last name....A wee bit late for that, my last name is floating around the net some where.

I'm sure Eleanor wouldn't mind any trouble you've put her through, she'd be glad to help.
