I was so excited when I was first introduced to this site. Meighborhoods just aren't what they used to be when I grew up, sharing, watching each other's backs. Today it all gets lost in the life we all live; too busy; HOW many of you are close to your neighbors? I NEED a connection to my town, MY neighbors; A connection & a support of some sort. I hoped I could find that here.
I can't believe that I am the only one that would want or hope for this? I had made the decision to shake my head, leave & move on. I signed on tonight, expecting for the posts to ''blast me out of the water'', and realized that There are some very caring & compassionate people that come here, SOME of them are just scared of posting, because of the negativity they have read! Those very people are the ones that I hope I can connect with and that I could feel that a connection to? If U disagree, I'll listen. Just don't tear me apart, or go off on another poster w/ an agenda of your own! Is that too much to ask? I'll give you the same respect! If I do, CALL ME ON IT! I'll listen!
When I read about multiple posters, I WAS VERY ANGRY! A poster responded in a post about wanting to ''take on other personalities, it felt good''. I get it!, but my response is that you have lived a life rich w/ experiences. You are the very person God wants you to be. Don't deviate from that. Say what you mean & mean what you say? BE & OWN up to who you are! That is why I was so angry @ the thought of ''multiple posters.'' I want to know the person I'm speaking to, not a fake!
A lot of people made fun of the analogy I made in another post about the playground we all have been in. I lived the life as the ''outcast, because I had beaver teeth, chubby girl, etc''. STILL GOT THOSE TEETH! I could have them fixed today but I choose not to; it made me the person I am today. God & a line of people will tell you that I'm NOT perfect.
I'll stand up to you if you come after me or anyone else that touches my heart. You can HURT ME BACK; words can drive a sword through our hearts. If I piss you off, ask me why I said that, give me a chance to respond before biting back? I'll try to respond in kind.
