Hey Chosen,
You read "almost" all of my reply? I won't take offense...but you are lucky. MOST women would! 
I'm not any woman! It's just me. I confuse a lot of people.
Does anyone on this board remember the song, "Wendy", by the Associatons? She was my hero growing up. "Walking down the streets of the city, smiling @ everyone she sees." She was my hero. Yes, Chosen, I want to be able to trust everyone I meet. I'm no longer a child & have learned that's not possible. I still wish it could be so. It doesn't make sense, I know.
I'm not a computer surfer. I'm a small town girl that found this site. period. The people I allow into my inner circle are honest w/ me; I am honest w/ them. This format is a challenge for me. I read body language, facial expressions, we don't have that gift on this board. I'm on a learning curve here.
I don't read past posts or know the "histories" of past posters. I don't have the time. I respond to what I read. Right or wrong, I say what I feel @ the moment & hope & trust that my neighbors can hear what I have to say & I hope that the original poster & others will know & accept my heart & soul. We all drop the ball sometimes... myself included.
We all have a common bond? That bond is that we want to be accepted, be heard & make a difference in this world. "Walking down the streets of the city, smiling @ every body she see"? Is that too much to ask?
