I don't quite know what to say. I'm completely overwhelmed by the response from my previous post, it is almost impossible to put into words. However, as I am accustomed to, I shall attempt to do it regardless.
Before posting the link to that post, I was a little nervous, but not as nervous as I made out. The people I had told before all took the news gracefully and without negativity, so I never really expected much in the way of contempt this time round, if any at all. What I was not expecting however, was the vast scale of support I received from every aspect of life, past and present, and for this, I would like to thank you. Each and every person who "liked" my Facebook link, or tweeted me your support, re-tweeted my link, left me an inbox message, text message or e-mail, thankyou so much. From the bottom of my heart. I never expected it, not for one second. Old friends from school, current friends who I spend Saturday nights sinking into drinking trousers with, friends from the cricket club and the refereeing community who I thought I had fallen out with altogether, and even strangers leaving me messages of support and commendation. All are to be thanked. Your comments will live with me for a long, long time.
The messages have still been coming in today. I have received a phone-load of texts and tweets and more comments on Facebook, so much so, that I shed a little tear myself earlier this afternoon. I could never have wished for a reaction like this.
I'm not going to make this longer than I need to. It was merely a post that reaffirms my love of humanity. This blog has been rather negative lately, but if you could see what this has done to me, you'd regain some faith in the human race that you may have lost. I'm visibly more cheery, bouncing along with a spring in my step and I'm convinced my face hurts, because a smile has been slapped across it for the majority of today. This is all down to you, and your acceptance.
I'm happy.

This has already made my day :P
Yeah I've been following since I read your last blog! Genuinely inspired by everything in it. Really makes you think y'know? Just the realisation that someone you used to know back in the school days has so much to say about their life and its many struggles. Reminds me of my own struggles in Mark Rutherford, worrying about being seen as different and everything. I hope you know that you and the others in drama lessons pretty much saved me from being completely miserable throughout my entire school life. First real friends I really had. So as you were one of those people, I'll gladly return the support!
Once again, good luck to ya man!
Thanks mate :) Hopefully see you around in town or what not :)
Hello! I know this is kinda off topic however
I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in trading links or
maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?
My website covers a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel
we could greatly benefit from each other. If you
might be interested feel free to send me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog by the way!

Hi, yeah that sounds like a great idea! That link you left however didn't work and you failed to leave an e-mail address to contact you on :)
Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and appearance. I must say you have done a excellent job with this. Also, the blog loads super quick for me on Firefox. Superb Blog!
