Great site... Great People... Great Community... Period...
The way I look at the site is as follows:
We...
1. ...discover the site...
2. ...discover the community and members herein...
3. ...discover how similar the stories really, really are...
4. ...discover our “selves”; and, accordingly, like or dislike what we discover of our “selves”...
5. ...learn how to interact with others as we move throughout these discoveries along with all of the ups and downs...
6. ...learn to get past our own personal issues...
7. ...learn from others and to help others...
8. ...grow into, or out of, the need to help our selves and others...
9. ...grow into a new "self" that moves on towards other avenues in our lives along with others...
10. ...leave altogether in order to diminish the normal growth, development, or progress of "...new self..."; and, besides, others do need to step up in their own participation to help themselves along with others...
We do take our journey in different ways; and, more importantly, we recognize that each and every one is an individual that is hurting in the beginning but takes a small part of this community within our hearts with each step along a new walk in life... This community has a life by design and grows by the inner workings of the members that may come and go; although, more importantly, it is the sharing that occurs within the walls of this site, to be shared with others that are unaware, ultimately expanding the impact we can make once we think we are able to leave on our own...
May God Bless each and every one of you as you find your road towards a better place...
