I have never blogged before, so I may get this wrong... but here goes.

To those that decide to follow me, I wanted to introduce myself.

I joined SG on a friends referral. She thought I would enjoy the type of beauty represented here. She was/is right.

I have struggled with depression and anxiety issues most of my adult life and I find this community to be a shelter from the rigors of the day-to-day grind.

It has been a difficult weeks. I am flying solo at work and I really miss my work family. Dealing with the insanity that passes for normalcy alone has pushed me back into a dark place.

I started asking myself why I find this site so restful. Some might say that is a silly questions and answer that because I am a guy I come here just to see the nudity. For those that truly know me, they would laugh at that conclusion. After 40 years of wondering why I was so different from most everyone else, I realized that I am ace (asexual). I don't see nudity for sexual reasons. I love beauty of all types. I admire feminine beauty, especially a great smile and eye combination. A great smile can be the most intoxicating thing on the planet.

So I finally came to conclusion that I like this site so much because of the positivity I see shared among the SGs and the various members. I am fairly introverted and the discord and negativity that I see in almost every other facet of daily life just drains me. Coming here and seeing the strong support among the community members gives me hope that the world isn't as bad off as it seems.

Well, that is enough musing for tonight. Here's a little something to brighten the mood.

Best wishes to all my fellow SG community members. May peace and blessings find their way to you and yours.
