Never before have I spent more time
on any site than Facebook.
Never before have I been welcomed
and accepted, so quickly, so dearly.
Never before have I felt more like
an outsider, insecure and scared.
Spoiler
I feel like an outsider because everyone is so talented and experienced that sometimes I feel I have no place here. It's not because the people are inhospitable or anything. Just wanted to make that clear.
Never before have I seen so many people
be so polite to eack other online.
Never before have I felt such respect
for non-strangers I have never met.
Never before have I been so afraid
of showing others what I wrote.
Never before have I been humbled
and then given reasons to gloat.
Never before have I been criticised
and extolled at the same time.
Never before have I been encouraged
and compelled to do better and better.
Never before have I learned so much
in so little a time.
Never before have I been more grateful
thank you YWS, thank you.
