Welcome to Razorblade Butterflies

[Razorblade Butterfly]

Some people see beauty in almost everything; including people, nature, and emotions. Some people have a fascination with these things. They dream about it, and daydream about it, and see it every where they look.

Some of us even see something beautiful in tragedy. To watch someone cry, to see such emotions. It is a moment of intense beauty, and sometimes hard to watch.

Do you ever feel like this world wasn't meant for you? Perhaps disappointed in the way things turned out. Like you should have been born in another time, or another place, maybe even as another creature. Wishing you were living a life like some romantic storybook, hoping for the happy ending, sometimes doubting it will ever come. The world can get so awfully lonely.

But the thing is, you're not alone.
And, you are beautiful.

This is the forum for the Razorblade Butterfly website. It is designed for easier communication for those in need of a listener. A place for people to have their voices heard, no matter how softly they speak. You may ask for help, you may vent, or you can be there for someone else and offer your advice.

Honestly, I made this site as my own sort of "Cry for Help." I'm not a psychologist and I don't have all the answers, but sometimes I like to know I'm needed. I offer myself as a listener and a friend, because knowing that I am there for someone and that I am appreciated is what really drives me in life. Sometimes, it's what really keeps me going.
And then I realized.. I am only one person. As hard as I try, I can't solve everyone's problems. Even with little to no sleep, I can't be there for someone all the time. So I decided to ask for help. I have friends who I trust very much, and this is my attempt organize them, with the intent to help as many people as we can.

You are welcomed here, as little caterpillars. As our peers and friends. And soon, I hope to see many, many more colorful butterflies to give their own unique contributions and splashes of color to this beautiful world...

I have been shown this forum by one of my friends, and think that it is an absolutely wonderful idea. I am not a psychologist either, nor do I have any professional training, but I too am a listener. I like helping others and love listening, so I decided to join here to offer any help or advice that I could. And I promise to help and listen to anyone that comes to me or posts here, and give my advice and opinion, or to not give one, and just listen, whatever is needed.

When you approached me about this place, I knew right away it was something that I wanted to be a part of. I am here to listen to others problems, and I will offer advice if they wish to have it, but I have found in the past that most just need someone to listen, and hear their problems, rather then have someone telling them what to do. If you can get off your chest what it is that is bothering you, then most times that helps...So as Gibby stated I am hear to listen...*smiles*

I'm here to help... plain and simple. I've been through my fair share of ups and downs and I know that sometimes all it takes is a shoulder to cry on and ears to listen to what has to be said. Feel free to e-mail me if you feel it's too personal for the boards, I'm far from judgemental and like to consider myself quite understanding. Please, rant and yell if it will make you feel better, I'll be sure not to take it personally.

Ummm, yah, I feel kind of redundant saying all the encouraging stuff, as it's already been said by the folks who already posted, but I'm here for the same reasons, to get some venting done and to try and be helpful by way of listening and conversation when I can

[Alexandrea]

I would just like to say hello and all and give a short summary, seeing as that is what we are doing here, about what I am here for. I am here because I too have had, and still have, many problems. Therefore I may need help. Then again my past experiences and insight on certain situations may help. Therefore,though at times I may be here to receive help, if there is anyway for me to help others I will do my best to do so. Whether it be to give advice, a lending hand, a listening ear, or a shoulder to cry on. So basically, a repeat of what the majority has said here, lol. Anyway...nice to meet you all.

*Points to Alexandrea* Yeah... what she said. A lot of my dirty laundry will be aired here... and I hope none of it offends. I was told to go to group discussions, so I figured this was better than having anxiety attacks by trying to go to one physically...

[crowsrlaughin]

While I may not be able to relateor tell you those words to change the sky from gray to blue. All I can pretty much do is be here for anyone.

I'm glad I was introduced to the forum, and it's nice as well to see so many fimilar faces as not to be lost in a tunnel of darkness.

I hope to make many more friends. And help out when I can. :]

Hey all. I know what it's like to go through hell. Been there and back so many times I've lost count. I like to help people though and am willing to give a helping hand to all out there. Well, also to vent alittle of my own out there too. Well, every so often anyhow cause I rarely do vent. I don't know, I just prefer to help people and put my problems on the back burner till later. Hope I can change that, but old habits are hard to break. *smiles*[/i]

[Emilia]

I'm a good listener, and good at giving advice.... I just very seldom follow my own. *chuckles* But anytime someone needs me to listen I'm there, and I can only hope that those same people will be there when I need to vent, or just need someone to talk me through a hard time... and I get a good feeling that everyone here can do that.
