I've decided it's probably my time to go. I've been really busy in the past few months and it's been hard for me to keep abreast of the things going on. Plus, I'll be leaving for Germany in 2 weeks, and I'll be soooo out of the loop. Smile

I've realized that I need to discover things for myself and learn on my own. It's not that I haven't valued your opinions and advice here...it's just that sometimes I feel that things may be forced on me, and that's not my style. To hear "you're so gay, you can't be bisexual!" and other things seem a little weird to me because sometimes I feel like someone else is telling me who I am, "what" I am, what to do, and how to live my life. I'm sorry if that got a little rantish; that certainly was NOT my intent whatsoever. I loved this place, I won't forget it.

But I don't want to leave on a sour note. I want to thank you all for everything you've done for me. I cherish every friendship I've formed while posting and reading here; you guys are phenomenal. I've loved meeting and getting to know each of you. And I won't abondon you guys, either...I'll still be around to talk to, albeit occasionally, maybe not as often as I have been.

And for those of you I've been talking to, I gave up on Ryan. I've basically given up on guys right now. I can't take it. The pressure and the bullshit I put myself through is way too much. To think that whenever I see Conor, even though it's been seven months, my heart still drops, I just can't take it. It hurts. A lot. It's really not worth it right now. I need to find me first.

Once again, thank you for everything you've done for me. I don't think I'd be "out" to seven friends (and Conor) and my parents (which we haven't talked a word about it since the night I told them). Thank you for advice and, more importantly, friendship. God bless you all, and I wish you much success in the future (and that goes for you, too, David! Have a totally AWESOME time in Thailand, and give Man my best, too). Smile

As the Germans say, Wiedersehen! Smile

For the last time,
-Tom Wink

...But you need to do what's right for you. So, I hope you the best in life and all... whatever it is for you! Smile

Näkemiin,
Setras

PS. Näkemiin would be... see ya, in Finnish. Well, goodbye, but with the belief/knowledge that it isn't forever. And I allways thought you had to have Auf with Wiedersehen, but guess not?

Safe travels, too. I KNOW you'll have an amazing, fantastic, and mind-expanding time living in another country overseas!!

I'll still be on this MB after my move, so I look forward to seeing you whenever you can pop in!

Will you keep the same email address? Let me know so maybe we can stay in touch that way!

Hugs! Many hugs!!

You're a great guy, whomever captures your heart, guy or gal, will be sooooo lucky. Smile You're definitely one of the nicest persons I've met on the internet.

I hope you'll be online some day to chat at least, or we can exchange an email every now and then.

Take care, and maybe you'll feel like venturing back here again some day. You'd be more than welcome (and get ready to duck out of the way of all those wet kisses coming your way, hehehe!) Very Happy


Sincerely:
-Lenny
