No Message Body



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Why is it that I feel most alone when I come to this place?

Not sure, pals. All I know is that sooner or later, something changes. It's all cyclical, but it changes. You wont feel so alone soon enough. Perhaps you just need to experience some change yourself? Idunno. Besides, you're reaching out, so I guess if someone responds to that you can't be too alone.

I often feel alone when I come here too. I know that I am not, but it feels that way.

Perhaps it is because I AM alone when I come here. I am sitting in a room by myself. Perhaps it is because when I type something and post it, there is no response for several hours, or sometimes not ever.

It isn't because there is no one here. It isn't because I have no friends or that no one cares. People here have proved that they do care many times.

It is the circumstances that bring me here and the very nature of a message board that sometimes make me feel alone. There isn't anything anyone can do about it. It just is.

Perhaps, Marc, you feel alone for the same reason I do. Or perhaps for reasons that are entirely different. But like the others have said. We are not alone.

Think good thoughts,

Perhaps it's that I am not alone (most unusual...) as I type this. Man is sleeping in the next room, I was restless and couldn't sleep. Too loong a nap this afternoon maybe.

Man says that when relationships don't work out, it is karma of both people sometimes preventing a bad match, or enabling a free space to continue to exist for new, better relationships. That might be it for Timmy USA.

What does Kevy say about your lonely moods, Marc? he must be the one who knows you best, right?

Well, see, thats the thing... I don't feel lonely at home... I have Kevy and we are slowly meeting more and more people here in Sandusky....

We go out and see friends regularly and we are both genuinely happy.

I just can't seem to put a finger on it... When I come to the message board I feel lonely... I guess I miss talking with friends I've met there over the years...

I don't know what makes me feel this way...

But I do know that the few times that I have had the chance to talk with friends both new and old that I have felt.. well.. better.
