Hey Osty Friends. So I am an African American woman from PA, USA. I am, I guess, you would say new to this (April 2021) and I am social with my circle, which I never thought I would be so open and honest even though with my friends, but hey, they know this saved me (radiation from Anal Cancer Treatment burnt my colon) so it is what it is. I am separated (he couldn't handle it and I don't hate him, he tried, I tried, we tried) lol I'm sure I'm not the only one with that tale. Now I am not in a rush to do that again BUT I am afraid to even put myself out there. So I was thinking let's give each other successful "tips" on how to spark that conversation. Even in a new friendship...
