I know how ya'll feel. I was ready to walk away...or so I thought. But here I am reading everything anyway.

The forum showed me that I wasn't alone at a time I thought I was. I still know, from the forum, that no matter what I'm feeling - I'm definately not alone. I wrote a drunken rant last Friday - and even there, drunk thanks to Hot Damn, I noted that I knew I wasn't alone in feeling the way I do.

It also told me that people aren't as evil as they can seem. It used to always be me v. them. But then through the forum I realized that even people I don't like or can't bond with have something in common with me. And that under all our exteriors, we're human and we all feel (except a few). With this awakening, I'm able to step outside my own feelings and try to walk in the opposing persons shoes.

I also enjoyed, and often took advantage of, spitting out things I needed to talk about or through and getting heartfelt feedback from people who shouldn't care! Sometimes you can't talk to your close friends and family without them immediately taking your defense. Through our forum, I was able to receive well rounded advice and help - without the judgement, too.

It's been wonderful, and I love ya'll. :)

>I have to agree with you all even though I have not been around as long as most. Since I have been a part of the forum I have:

Changed Jobs
Left My Hushand
Started accepting myself for who I am

I too figured out that I am not alone in some of my weirdness; and people here have accepted me for me and they don't even know me. I've had online tarot readings, phone readings, went to a show with a fellow member (AS), emailed and phoned others...and supported others causes. What a great fucking experience this place has been for me.

I have gotten to know new bands, new ideas, new books, changed views and attitudes.....I miss my home.
