Ya know...after posting a few posts and replying to a number of my "friends" here, I've gotten a little misty-eyed.
I really like the people that I have as friends. These are good people of what very little I know of them. But your words are honest and revealing and it gives me hope and belief that what you put out to the world you get back. I like to think that I am a little like all of you and a lot like most of you.
Thanks to you all for expanding my thoughts and even though we have never met face-to-face (sans Yoseph, whom I had a fling with years ago and never checks his post anyway!) or that we even know each others true names, I feel connect to a lot of you in very unique ways. I guess that is the beauty of the internet, revealing your inner most life to someone you haven't met because it has the illusion of safety.
to my friendlies!

"To aaaall my friends!"
clink.
Y'know, quite honestly, the very idea of a 'blog' has been totally foreign to me. I could never understand why people would want to air their dirty laundry out in so much public. I just never understood. That was then.
Then I started posting on here the very day of the breakup. That was back on July 17th and this post here quite quickly became a form of therapy for me. I couldn't believe how much better I would feel sometimes, just after writing here. Nobody was on my friends list, I wasn't on anybody elses friends list, and nobody was commenting on my posts much except me.
Eventually, it became a ritual for me. Eventually, I started populating my friends list, and even though I've been "online" since back in 93 or 94 or something like that with my first 14.4 modem, this is the first time I have really seen the power of the internet. This site is shockingly community oriented. It's got nothing to do with the nudity here, it's the people. People like you.
Thanks for your post. I try sometimes to see it from her perspective, and I always seem to fail to understand why she could be so angry at me for breaking up with her. I assume that she should think I am a totally great guy for finally doing it, I totally don't understand the hatred she apparently feels towards me.
I sounds like you may be coming from her position in this though, and it's great to hear some of that perspective.
Thanks again.
