Or at least I feel like one lately. Compared to a lot of people on here (who I'm totally jealous of, BTW), I'm totally whitebread, but my family now considers me the offical black sheep. I found out today that my family's been talking behind my back for years because I'm Wiccan, I write erotic fanfiction, and I used to have a girlfriend. My aunt said if my mom heard the rumor about my girlfriend, she'd throw herself off a bridge (probably, my mom's nuts). You know what I want? I want to live somewhere where everyone accepts each other for who they are, the food is all-natural, nobody's judged based on their looks or possessions, and I can be who I am without fear of reprisal or judgement. I should just give it up and move to a commune already. I was reading a book by Ina May Gaskin describing the births she attended at a commune in the 70s and it all sounds so wonderful. I don't even think I'd have a problem with having no tv. I would probably even be able to get used to using an outhouse. I've used them before (I'm from WV). I could probably get used to just about anything to be accepted and not have to hide things anymore. I'm such an open person that it's a real struggle for me to hide things and it stresses me out. *sigh* Who wants to go to the WV mountains with me and start a commune? WV's gorgeous. It would be perfect. Any takers?
Already there. Some of our friends (we're in a 6th century Celtic Clan) have 100 acres near Spencer). Only reason we haven't joined them is Lack of health insurance. If I could use the internet to generate enough income (and I will) I'm so outta Babylon...
Sweetheart, you are of age. Maybe you should look to move away from your current surroundings. Is your family so conservative that they can't love you if you don't fit their desired image of you? I feel very sad for you because you seem like a wonderful person. Remember that we don't pick our families, but we can pick our friends. There are people that can appreciate your beliefs. Find them. Get to know them. I don't like how some people are so narrow minded and think their way is the right way.
wrong thread lodog? minkajane~your reality is what you make of it. find your own path. zeee possibilitiess, zayyyy are endless!
No. It's just I've never seen this person post here in my life, and she's already donated... It's just what crossed through my mind when I read it. I really can't comment on her original topic except maybe to just follow her dream. I need to be the focal point though so I posted something about myself in her thread. If I don't do stuff like that I'd clutter the board with ignorant threads.
Mrs. H - I've been on my own for 4 years now, and married for 3 1/2. I recently moved from TX to OH to be near my mother-in-law during her final year or two (she has Lou Gehrig's disease) and we've been going home every weekend. So I've been around my mom a lot in the past several months. That will now change.
Wow. Thanks for filling me in. I am sorry to hear about that. Perhaps in time you will be away from the situation you are in right now, and you won't feel the pressure. Boy, you really had to grow up fast didn't you? When I was 22, I was going to school and being crazy.
I enlisted in the Air Force at 18 so I could get out on my own. I now have two years left in my enlistment. When Rob came to visit me in CA, we realized how much we missed each other and decided to move up our wedding. I had been 19 for 6 weeks when I got married. When I was 21, our beautiful son was born.
Wow! I was 19 and 6 months when I got married!!! But we didn't have kids yet. Possibly in the next three years or so. That is really sweet though. Your pic always makes me think you'd be a very nice person to have as a friend. Sounds like you have a wonderful family, but I guess some folks only concentrate on the things they don't agree with about how you live your life. That is sad, but look at the great things you DO have in your life.
