You asked Kenn & I for our names & e-mail addresses. It actually came across as a challenge, but I won't take it that way. Kenn is dealing with his own issues, let's leave him out of this?
There are a couple of people on this board that I've felt safe enough to share my feelings with. I appreciate MANY of your posts, fyi2. But, some of them make me hesitate to trust you? You, (Like myself!), have a sharp tongue. I've been called on it myself, so don't take it
personally, ok?! I'm trying to work on it. Are you? IF I were to trust you with my name, e-mail & life circumstances; Would you use it against me in the future? OR...Would you appreciate the fact that I trusted you because you appreciated me as a person with very real feelings?
I'm not stating a fact fyi2, it's an opinion & you have every right to disagree. ''Sticks & stones...isn't true.'' Words hurt more.

I, also, have a sharp tongue,most times to instill more postings, and have been called on it on this site and by my self. I am my worst critic and I know that......If you don't know yourself don't know anyone. To know one's self is the gate way to knowing others. I don't know if that makes sense or not.....

IT MAKES sense to ME, fyi2, I get it! You have hurt me a few times on this board, (perhaps to ''instill more postings?). It might be fun to read responses to hurtful or angry posts. What purpose does it serve? When & Why is it ever ok to hurt a person? That's where we are different. When I have ''had that sharp tongue'', it was because I believed that there was an ''injustice of sorts''. We had different motivations. It doesn't mean we are total opposites! We both want to belong & contributed in our own ways. I had to apologize for my sharp tongue...have you? :-)
I DESPERATELY want to believe & have faith in everyone I meet, on the streets & on this board. I give every person a chance.
On the flip side, You had FAITH in the other posters & let the chips fall where they may. You are a good balance for me on this board, fyi2.
'' I am my worst critic and I know that..If you don't know yourself don't know anyone. To know one's self is the gate way to knowing others''. We ARE NOT so different. We are SO alike. You read my posts about my love of the eagles, etc. I envied your life & view!
I think we have more in common than differences! I'm really glad you posted& look forward to hearing from you in the future.
