That is an awesome post Prix. Fair had me filling up that did! I just hope I am not one of the assholes!
I get the impression sometimes that I'm the one that is on the wrong path, or that I'm the one who doesn't understand or who's going against the grain. My role on the forum has graduated into something different than it was before. I feel a weight behind my words and I question reality. I speak my mind, but I'm not infallible. I push for what I feel is right, but I realize that I may come across to some as less than hip! My experience... I think it's been wild! There are lots of personalities that come shining on through on internet forums; particularly this one. We have a very diverse community for which I am grateful. I feel "acceptable", and that's something that's difficult to place a value on... It's invaluable. I'm fortunate to have this as a place where I can express myself and have dignity and pride and culture and opinions. I think my experiences have been predominantly positive; though there have been times I've gotten upset. And in those times I've learned that sometimes you just wait... sometimes you tolerate... sometimes it's someone else's turn to speak, you don't like what's being said, and if you need to, you can tune them out. My experiences on hip in the last few years have brought many good things into my life, and I can honestly say that I'm grateful to the members and organizers of this forum. Thank you!
I have seen a change in you since I joined. You seem very much happier. That is due to maybe some real positive aspects in the real world. Or simply the fact that you are in love? Any upsets, are best ignored. I often log off, have some tea, then log on later.
Years ago 2007-2012ish were fun. Great people. Then a few left and new people came and the vibe felt very different.
It's been a great expiernce! I been a member since 2012. Somebody who I knew actually told me I may like this thread because I could share expiernces with others. You see I live a barefoot lifestyle and there are others who do on here as well. Most of my close friends I made on here don't do that but you get the gist lol. Well I also discovers all the other forums for people who share all my other interests as well. (I even made some acquaintances on the sex forums before settling down LOL). Over the years I've gotten more comfy on here opening up about myself and made some of the best online friends ever! Truely love this forum! I hate intrusive social media sites like Facebook and glad to of found this place. Thank you for letting me share! I love you all!
There is that! You truly are a great person who just wants to see others happy. Thank you for that my bestie <3
