Greek! You're not abandoned here! You're loved and welcomed here! Your story is encouraged here!

Here and now, you've got so awesome friends! In the past you had pain and the memories are torture, yes, but today is your life, now, and in this moment you are embraced by multitudes of fellow travellers!
