Like the dust bunnies that gather under our beds, or in that shaft of sunlight streaming from your bedroom window and when you blow you see the particles move. Fluff is all around, it shows we are alive, we create it big and small. We live, we breathe, we share.

Fluff shows we care enough to share our experiences so that somewhere someone may learn from our actions. Facts are harsh blunt statements, that don't provide readers with the opportunity to feel what we feel (not that we would ever want them too) they don't provide readers the chance to relate, they don't give readers the chance to wonder what if, or to reach out and ask questions.

Fluff is an essential path to wellness, it enables us to be in touch with our emotions and to grow. Fluff gives background stories and maybe, just maybe, we can draw parallels into how and why we got to where we are today. The fact is I fell off my horse, it would be easy to assume that's why I broke my back, but the assumption would be wrong. It doesn't mention the congenital problem compounded by the fact I was a junior state athlete champion.

Fluff gives the facts meaning and allows conclusions to be drawn, decisions to be made, choices to follow. Fluff is what I look for every day here on the NT forum, a platform for us all to come together and share our joy, our tears, our laughter and our fears.

If I want blunt statements I go to a doctor.
