In the beginning...when I was torn in all directions at once, and living
in fear...
Internet was my only source of outside communication.
Then... I was isolated from everything I loved, or had...
It became a survival tool for me. And, through that, I met the most
beautiful souls! Freinds whom loved me without a pricetag... whom would
give me good sound advice, and would kick my ass when it was called for.

Now?
I still have these loves. After all the dislocation, trials, growing...

What I went through was an amazing journey. I found I was able to
project light to and accept from loves...

Now, I don't need it, I WANT it.
My solitude is of my making. It is a way to shut out noise I have no
control over... and, it is easier to walk away...
Lives go on behind the pc screens.

I can touch so many lives through online. And, can be touched if I allow
it...

It is an outlet, and touchstone. No longer a survival tool.

ohhhhhhh, beautiful one

I don't believe so.. in MY opinion.. our lives don't always permit for
much INTERACTION in reality so this, at the moment, is where many
socialize and enjoy the company of friends AND get to meet NEW ones..
opportunities otherwise not found...
this is more a jumping board to MANY new relationships, some opt for
gatherings, one of which is soon approaching where whisper so
aptly put meeting GREAT people, AND the meeting of hearts.. many of
which HAVE coupled up and are soon to wed.. it's a 'family'
enviornment that once hooked...? is exTREMElly hard to let go of
