One of my life goals has been to talk and reflect on things I like, rather than what I don't. With everything going on it can be easy to just focus on the negative.
My last post didn't feel quite right, more about what has changed and less about what I enjoyed during my time here.
What I loved about this site.
Chat:
I made so many friends here during the chat era. I had just moved to Colorado and didn't know many people. Having that virtual group made a huge impact during those early days before I created my own circle of friends here.
Groups:
One group in particular, the weight loss group. I got so much encouragement from that group that I eventually lost 120 lbs.
Another group that I should mention is Suicide Boys. Those same friends in the weight loss group convinced (pushed ... dared ...etc) me to pose nude in the Suicide Boys group. I was terrified, and still don't know why I did it. Looking back it did so much for my confidence. I went from the guy who wouldn't take his shirt off at the pool to being full frontal (and backal) nude on the internet. Doing something so extreme might have been what I needed to change how I saw myself. The positive response I got from the people there really helped me go out and be more confident.
Thank you to everyone that made this site great and I wish the best to you and your loved ones.
