Sometimes I show up here during one of my dark moods, & if I don't immediately snap out of it, I will question why I keep coming back here, year after year...am I just popping in out of habit?
Most times tho, I pop in for all the reasons jennaflower mentioned...I'm not only accepted here, but absolutely embraced, & sometimes even exalted to an extent. And I just recently found that is not just in the cyber world, but in the real world as well...I was welcomed, greeted, had gifts laid at my feet (well, sort of), & a couple of peeps tried to hug the stuffins out of me.
Once, a long time ago, etc., etc., I had a very special circle of friends, & we were young & foolish enough to think that it would last forever...it did not, & I trudged on thru life thinking it could never happen again, not like that more perfect union of souls I had around me...I was wrong again.
Sometimes I wonder how a guy like me could get so lucky twice in a lifetime
