QUOTE : I felt sad.<br />I felt cold.<br />I felt hurt.<br />I felt forsaken and lonely.<br />I felt doubtful and hesitant.<br />I felt scared and deeply worried. <br />I felt different, unknown, and unwelcome.<br />I felt empty and woefully neglected.<br />I felt weak and intimidated.<br />I felt withdrawn and shy.<br />I felt utterly hopeless.<br />Then you held my hand, <br />and I felt better.
