Wanted: bander buddy for 26 y.o female

So I'm looking for a friend, pen pal, social media cheerleader, etc. My friends support me... My family supports me.. But not one of them know what I am mentally going through right now. If anyone would like to private message me here- go for it and you can find me on Instagram @jkitche

It's always nice to have that support. I know what you mean about the emotional support. It stinks when out biggest fans can't really relate on that emotional level. They trust our decisions, root for us, and even feel bad when they see that we are in pain but to honestly know what it feels like is different. I'm kinda in the same boat. My boyfriend, Dad, Mom, G-Ma etc. are all rooting for me but I don't think they really get the emotional theme park I am entering. I would love to chat back an forth. I only use email and the whatever communication we have here but you can always shoot me a message as well at banded@belletx.com. I will look into instagram though...I'll let you know.

We are all here to be that for you! Check in as much as needed. Someone is always here.
