Hearts!
Being pretty new here, I did not know how this heart business worked. All of the sudden someone had given me a heart. I wanted to join in, so I renewed, though I had over 300 days left on my star membership. Had fun finding people without hearts to give hearts to. Now I have been given 4 hearts. It feels really welcoming. ❤️ Thank you for making me feel a part of the DU family!
