i've had way too much a lot to drink, but it doesn't change that i know i'm sorry i flipped my lid. earlier i read responses, and i've saved them all to erespond to people in email, as i'm fully able to say i'm real embarrassed at how i acted here, and would rather just let the topic drop because you know i know it can't 'just be solved' and you know. embarrassing.

i'm sorry for anyone that had to deal with reading silly childish outbusts by me, and others i've emailed apologies to where interpretatiosn got messed up and yeah. so i apologise.

And nothing wrong with venting if you need to as well.



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...

Everyone flips out at least once in a while. You were hurting. You came here looking for answers and you didn't quite get what you were looking for. I'm glad you are back. But don't stop looking for answers or even asking for help. We may not always have answers for you, but we definitely won't have them if you don't ask.

I know you didn't appreciate my suggestion, but you have also adopted it as your own.

Good for you

You have friends here. Friends that do not judge you or make you to feel any less than any of the rest of us. You are a part of us and we of you. We might not always be able to solve a problem for someone, but we can lend our support as a friend. You have done that for me at times as well and I thank you for it.

So ask for help, pour out your heart if you need to, rant on, we will still be here for you and try to give the best advice we can. Sure none of us are perfect, we might not always say the right thing or react the exact way we should, but we do try. Most everyone here at least has good intensions at heart.

So when we say something you don't agree with or fail to respond at an appropriate time, remember we are trying. Just like you.

Stay and be someone that can support her friends, you sure are worth the effort for me.

Love,

Kevin

I knew that your friends here wouldn't run out on you just because you'd got upset and maybe behaved a little irrationally. Everyone here as their ups and downs and does silly things that they regret. Maybe what everyone gave you wasn't the best we could do, either, but we did try, just like you're trying, so that's all that really matters Smile

marc -- there is a reason though, really ... everyone's human just like i am. it was one of those snowball weeks/days; like, if one thing would have played out differently say, an hour or two before i posted, or a day, it'd been different.

it's no excuse, just something i have to work on. so say the stars and planets. hehe.

e -- your reply was one that i saved this morning when i came and read, and i was going to digest it and maybe email back, so as to just kind of let things relax on the board about that whole topic-thing. it did mean a lot that you wrote back. Smile

and it's not like .. how to say it -- i know that the answer just can't fall in someone's lap to hand to me, if it were that easy i'd have found it already. it's just a "lost" thing. because i don't know if i should just give up that side of me, and pretend i don't like those things, want those things, possibly even *need* them, or if i should hold out because that's WHO i am, what i am, and maybe someday it'll fall into line.

that's basically what it all was, a what do i do thing; an example of a situation and just what people thought of that. maybe they know someone who feels misgendered (i don't say 'trans'gendered because isn't that if you cross-dress or feel strongly enough to get an operation of sorts? i'm uneducated..), or read something somewhere, etc.

kevin -- you're one of the best friends i have. i don't say that lightly. i value you, everything you offer and say, and wish that i could have (or could in the future) help you more than just a time or two. with you i know what it's like, what everyone meant here, earlier -- that it's not always easy to find the right thing to say, when you want to say it. i'm that way with you, a lot, and yet i want to help you feel better, especially today, and i don't know how. but you're loved and valued around here too, you *have* to know that and believe me, and i've seen it.

smith -- O. M. G. i LOVE that cartoon. is it okay with you that i saved that? that is SO fitting, i swear. thanks for sharing that! Smile and thanks for being so calm with things where i wasn't.

timmy -- that goes for you too. hugs do, too. Smile

saben -- yours i saved as well, because there were things mentioned that made me think, as well as i wanted to ask what you meant, or just ask stuff. i will when i'm clearer headed, but we've also talked since then and ... yeah, you were right. i was just scared and embarrassed, is all.

i mean i don't know how on earth *i* would put up with someone like me, i can't imagine anyone else is able to, or should, hehe!

lenny - i already answered you earlier, but :-* i won't be doing that again, trust me. Smile hugs.
