It's been a journal for me because I am too much of a pussy to keep a real journal where I can self-reflect on my thoughts later or tell my self the truth. It's a lot easier to be truthful with others then it is to be honest to your self about your self. It's also made me a lot less materialistic and given me a out of state reality check that the people here suck and are mean and shallow but the weather is fucking great d:
eh, okay, ill go.... some people here have shown me a lot of good and bad stuff about myself. i gained some self confidene, partically from certain people here..... and i learned some really bad stuff about myself that i was able to change by looking at myself objectivaly.
i have found a soul family, i have found my life partner, i have a new life getting ready to start in north carolina, my mind has expanded. i have been helped through some of the rougher decisions such as leaving my husband. i have met several awesome people. i have expanded my knowledge on politics, philosophy, religion, and continue to learn about myself daily.
i think the forums (in the past, more like) have helped toughen me up a bit. at certain times... it has also been a source of great support and help. i also have met many people that add to the overall experience quite nicely.
Given me ideas Annoyed the hell out of me Made me realise im sometimes thinking in the wrong direction Made me curse people, made me praise them Educated me And really, given me a place to preach...or not preach, but do something similar to preaching which isnt really that bad I cant think of the word right now. Still ill
but really it has given me a fun way to pass time - as it will give me something to think, write or research on which is pretty cool and mostly its it gives me the *giggles* peace
It makes me happy. And it's an easy place to vent about a bad day, rather than hassling someone with my shitty days or bottling it up or crying like an idiot
And I met the most amazing woman on here. It's kinda funny to think about.. These stupid forums have significantly altered the path my life seems to be flowing.
When I'm not here there are times I can't wait to check in and see what everyone has been up to. I've met some awesome people on here who I have enjoyed very much getting to know. Sometimes this place has been therapy for me. I've come here and I've been offered some appreciative advice. I've been able to change some things about myself that I didn't like very much and I've also been able to look at my own life and appreciate it. I am not the kind of person that feels comfortable voicing my opinion. This place helps give me some practice and build some of my self confidence.
