The best thing, to me, about SF is that for the vast majority of us, we're anonymous to each other. We've all been told it's best to "get it off your chest" and not bottle up our feelings, but then when we open up in the real world, we're usually told to brush it off, suck it up, buck up, and ignore our feelings & move forward. Screw that, I want to yell, scream, rant, rave, and get it all out of my system. I can do that here and NO ONE cares! I love all of the folks for that. I've been saved many time by SF just by being able to vent, or cry, or whatever I needed at the time. Then I tend to veer off for awhile, but I know when life starts beating me down, I have a safe place to whine and be a cry baby, and it's OK. I can't say how much that means to me. If I were to see most of you in real life & knew who you were, and what side of me you'd been exposed to, I'd be really embarrassed. But not while I'm here. It's safe & warm here...
