~longing~tears~ is now Stellata!
 

My user name change is to mark a new phase in my recovery and healing.

Stellata is a variety of magnolia, and my parents have one in their garden, that they treasured.

Magnolia is a symbol of femininity, beauty, nobility....

I wanted to make sure you all know, so you know who I am.

Thanks,

Katie

That is a dramatic and profound change. To understand that how one identifys ones self is the post on which all flags fly, is to know how to make those flags change directions. You should be proud of your self.
