Maria, I'm going to give you some unsolicited advice because I have it to give. You can ignore it, of course, but maybe it will be useful to you. You're going to have a lot of feelings that seem wrong or have no basis in reality or just don't seem like what you "should" be feeling. Go ahead and feel them just as hard as they come on. They're emotions, they may not mean what you think they mean.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
That's good advice. And how gracious, -t, for you to speak out of your experience here.
Oh Maria, I am so so sorry.
-t, I'll take whatever you have to give. I'm sorry we're in the same goddamned club now.
Everyone else, I need you too. Don't give up on me.
We won't. We're here for you. Hold onto us. And onto your realspace peeps, but you know, Buffistas keep odd hours, so we're here when the others crash out!
Listen to -t, she's right. And know that we're here. Someone is always here, to listen, just for you to know someone's here. I'm so sorry, Maria.
We're here for you, Maria.
It's a terrible goddamned club, but full of supportive members.
Absolutely here whenever and whatever.
