I feel a little apprehensive going into my first online website to find and get to know fellow OstoMates! It feels exciting because I feel I would have a lot to discuss! Both sharing and listening! It is hard to talk to anyone in my daily life normally for obvious reasons. It is even difficult to talk to family about things; however, I am sincerely hoping I can find someone I can talk to here!
