Hello everyone! I'm going to be starting up a "Dear Ocean" post. This is where you can reach out to your fellow Riftfairers if you're in need of advice or help, and you can do it Anonymously. Other people can respond to your anon posts to try and help you figure out a tricky situation, or offer up advice on all sorts of things.
If this one goes well, I may do another in the future.
I'll even start us off.

Dear Ocean,
Last month I saw someone that had hurt me, but he didn't stick around. We sort of got to talk a little, but I still feel like we left a lot unresolved. I don't know if I should still be angry and hurt by what he did, or if I should try to accept that he just doesn't understand me, but he was the first person who tried in a very long time.
Signed, Not-A-Monster

That's a tough set of questions. I've tried to belong in that world, but every time I tried, it ended in disaster. People are afraid of me, of what I can do. And I'm afraid of being hurt again. Things need to change, and I don't think it will if I'm not there.
On the other hand, I've never felt more accepted in two thousand years than I do here. A person could get used to that, and having to go back to all that is painful.
