First let me start this by saying I have been in the hobby for many, many years.
I started in 2005, then left in 2009 when I got married. Then came back for a short while full time, then started on my journey to college.
I haven't landed that dream job yet, so it has allowed me to really be "back in the hobby life" again.
I have really been reminded of how many truly wonderful people there are out here in the hobby world. (ladies, this goes for you too)
Yes, there are the time wasters, and trolls, the occasional difficult men, the guys that should have washed up better.
But these last few weeks, I have just been blown away by generosity, wonderful attention and kindness.
I know there is a thread going on about appreciating women with flaws. This isn't even about appreciating men with flaws.
This is about appreciating men who are appreciative, friendly, caring, who know what this business is about, and who take the time to remember or get to know things about the lady they are seeing. (shout out to the blasts from the pasts I have seen lately!)
Guys, you know who you are and hugs and kisses in all the right places!
