Why did I stay?

If only everything in life could be summed up by something Mal said... maybe it can xD

Seriously, I wish to help others. (silly I know but I have to be honest) I pray the more I can be a positive influence on others. I try, I really do. I want the world to be so much more a better place. I'm not anything special except I expect and hope for more good for all. That is the key for me. I expect, so I believe it will be. If I can get a little piece of that in the mean time then I am blessed. Your peace is my peace. Selfish generosity? I know sappy stuff. Good night.

I really don't talk about this stuff much outside this place but I feel safe expressing my most inner thoughts here. Peace

i learn from you, i grow as a result of your influence and you inspire me often

Thank you. Sometimes I dig deep inside myself to get in touch with what I want to post. Posting some of my thoughts opens up vulnerable spots and I feel the risk/anxiety of doing so but that's the price I choose to pay. You words are gratifying.

Like the others have said already. Here I feel at home. Nobody judges anybody and the people are wonderful with diversity. The perfect melting pot of personalities that don't want to conform to the angry and selfish and desperate way of life that is called normal.
