Wow!!!
I doubt many of you remember me. I was last circulating the boards and the chat almost two years ago. Many things have happened since. Some good, much bad. But, I found myself called back after this hiatus though I'm not sure yet why. Time will tell.
Anyway, I found myself re-reading some of my own threads and responses almost as if I was opening a time capsule and all I can say is Wow!!! It's hard for me to believe from the negative spin I went into that I actually put forth some positive thoughts. After years of fighting my own self-esteem issues and continuing to this day to struggle to quash my many demons, I'm shocked to realize that in some instances not only was I able to form coherent thoughts and concepts but I actually might have offered a warm blanket to others. I find myself bawling like a two-year old at the realization of this but it does still offer me some hope for my own life, for my own worth.
I'm terribly sorry that this site still exists for it means that still boys/men are continuing to suffer from the level of injustices and violations that we've suffered through by our perps, our families, our religions and our governments. But, it is soooooooo comforting, so enlightening, so blessed to know that in a world often shrouded by unrelenting ugliness, there is a place to go full of beauty, compassion and love.
Peace
