I must admit one might never know what to expect to find on this site! The best part about it for me is being able to choose the posts I want to read. It runs the gamate for me and I can experience a whole range of emotions in the course of an hour. I appreciate having a place to go and have a great time without leaving my chair with people I might never have met had I not logged in. I can honestly say I leave with something each time I log out. Whether it be a view from a completely different perspective, a hug left on my wall, a bit of hope, a smile, a tear or just a good feeling. I never know if I am going to laugh or cry or both from day to day.
There are posts that ruffle my feathers, but allow me to examine life in a whole new way. I am constantly and consistently amazed by the things people write and the talent present in this little community. I get the opportunity to read fiction, historical stories, political or religious thoughts, real life accounts, poetry, opinions and whatever else is available.
What I find most appealing are the people who honestly care about one another. Those who leave little reminders of their 'affection' and approval for no reason other than just to be kind. To take time out of their busy lives to share with someone they have not met / nor ever may meet, to me, that is pretty fantastic. They offer advice, insight, and a shoulder to cry on while asking little or nothing in return. That is hard to find even in the best of relationships. What is great is the chance to start new, fresh each day having learned something from the day before.
Yes, I get all sappy about this place. I cannot explain it. It fits. It fills a void for me
that I did not know was there. I hate when I have to be away from it. From you. And I notice the void from the absence of those I have grown accustomed to 'seeing'. It is hard not to feel towards the ones who touch the inner recesses of my heart, soul and mind. The ones whose words are my thoughts put to page by their hands in an almost mysterious way. How is it they know me better than I know myself? How can they put to word what I can only feel? Do they know they see into my soul? Do they feel a sense of connection? Or are we really that alike? Everyday brings with it a new mystery. New questions. New answers.
See why I come here? It is proof positive of my craziness! 'It' is made up of people who are changing the world one post at a time. So, thank you all for that.
I am feeling a bit gushy now and I don't want to splash love all over you. But, I feel immersed in yours. Thank you for that. xoxo peace
