    Hi my friends. Disclaimer, this is going to be a lot. However I really do feel like I have to tell you all.

    Firstly, I am sorry for kind of just lurking around on here and not being active in posting or reacting. I have not revealed this to many people- but I trust you all immensely and also owe a large thank you to Syn and this entire community.

    When I found this school, I was trapped in a very scarey situation- in which I was being kept against my will and was kept from communicating with the outside world, my family and my friends. I was kept from listening to music a lot of the time, as well as playing my guitar and piano. For many long years.

    In the small chances I found, I used that precious time of minute freedom to come here to the school and interact/participate as well as I could- both because I knew that the chances of my abuser seeing it were relatively small, and more importantly because of how amazingly loving, tightly knit, and open everyone here is.

    So secondly and most importantly, I really need to thank every one of you fellow Synners, and of course Syn and Papa Gates, for being who you are,being here in this community, and the love and light you showed me in a time where everything else around me was hellishly dark. You helped me through something I did not believe I would make it out of, and honestly provided me with that last bout of strength that helped me break out and run away to safety. I am still learning how to communicate with people again, so I am also sorry for not being very eloquent right now.

    Lastly. If anyone reading this needs help in any capacity whatsoever, please reach out to me. I am here for you and I will do anything for any of you for the rest of my days. You are all my family now, and I love every one of you. If you need to talk, cry, scream, or need somewhere safe to go or a way to get there- I am here. After I post this I will update my profile to add more ways to contact me.

    Please stay strong, stay here, and stay yourself. If you hadn't, I am not sure where I would be right now. Just knowing you all would be here if and when I got a chance to come back helped me more than I know how to express any further.

    Love you always, family.
    Kelseana 🖤💫🦇💀🦇

    Wow. I can't imagine what you've been through. When you're able, find a good counselor to help you navigate through it all and get yourself back to healthy on the inside. We want you with us a long time. I'm so glad you made it!
    Thank you so much, Ed... that honestly means so much. I definitely will, I want to be with you all for a long time as well :,) Unfortunately I had to leave my guitar and gear behind- but I can replace that in time. Until then I am just so grateful to be here with you and everyone else in this absolutely stellar group of people <333

    Holy hell, I'm so sorry that you've been through so much. I'm very glad you've made it out and seem to be doing better. The amount of courage it takes to be this vulnerable/comfortable enough to tell your story to this community is incredibly moving. As well as a sign of how incredible this community is. I'm wishing you the best moving forward. I also hope you can get back on your feet with a guitar in your hands before too long. Looking forward to seeing you on here more frequently.
