I'd like to tell anyone who is struggling to find a reason to carry on; Think of a memory. Think of a time in your life when you were truly happy, no matter how how big or small that moment was, dwell on it. Now think of a time in your life when things were worse than they are for you now, a time when you thought there was nary a chance to come through it in one piece. let it pass through your mind for a moment. Think back to people you have loved, who have loved you in return, regardless of where they are now, take a moment to analyze your triumphs and your failures. understand that no matter what happens in life, you have to keep the goodness from your past held strong in your heart, and carry that joy with you in the darkest of shadows, You need to look back on the events in your life that just about broke you in two, and draw strength from that. You are still here, You're still fighting, even if you don't want to, even if you feel like you cant. embrace that fighting spirit. and turn your pain into motivation, channel all that emotion into a fuel for your will. and keep in mind. there have been times in your life where you knew joy, and those days will return, especially if you FIGHT for them. life doesn't get easier. I wish I could say that it does, but that would be a lie. The difference lies with you. You get better at handling the hardship, and eventually, events that almost broke you will seem like no big deal, so long as you keep striving to do better. the last thing i'd like to say; You can only rely on yourself at the end of the day. Learn to love yourself, accept your flaws, and change the things that are in your power to change. You have to accept yourself for who you are, because you cant break up with, nor cut ties with yourself. you have to accept every mistake and shortcoming and love yourself unconditionally. on top of that, you most likely have people that love you, that need you in this world, and would never be the same without you. You can make it through this, even if you are at your lowest, for if that's the case, the only way to go is up.
I wanted to take a minute to explain myself and apologize

@Scottish The white knight defends his damsel...
-
@blue-eyes I appreciate that, just so you know i tried to messsage you but your settings are set so only those who you follow can message you
-
@Scottish my sweetest friend, im apologizing because I was embarrassed by the fact that i allowed them to get under my skin enough for me to even give them the attention they wanted. I agree, it is very cringe worthy for some of these guys to behave the way they do and while their responsible for their own actions I also have to hold myself to be better than that. Im happy to stay and continue with the friends ive made too. yeah and i know, if a guy is dead set on being gross, he's gonna be gross.
-
@m-y-s-t-e-r-y speaking my mind. You seem to have an issue with that, you pulled Lindsey up for it too. Yet you feel free to trumpet your caveman schtick.
-
@Div thank you so much, yeah this was a piece of advice the moderator gave me too. I appreciate you reaching out.
-
@Scottish You're the knight in shining amour fighting off the imaginary caveman, I'm just sitting in the cave trying to make sense of the shadows...
-
@F7k-B0y See this is why I love chatting with you, you're genuine and I dig that. I'm sorry your earlier experience wasn't what you had hoped for, but im glad to hear your second time around is going better. Im hoping my second time around will be just as good.
-
@Lazz HOLY MOTHER OF ALL F**KS, Lazz, You are quite possibly one of thee most thoughtful people I have come across in my life. I remember when you welcomed me aboard. You've been really cool people. I'm glad im here where I'm back and free to continue chatting with you
-
@Lindsey Your second one will be great be sure ... With such great people who replied to this post I think I am not the only one who sees your pure soul.
Don't let freaks enter to you mind and upset you ... We will always be here for you when you need us.
-
@m-y-s-t-e-r-y have you never supported a friend who you know to be right? Have you never voted for what you believe in, protested against what you do not? Knight in armour is a touch overdramatic no?
-
@F7k-B0y haha well said B0y! And when the freaks do breach the defences it's good to have pals to help.chase them away
-
@Scottish overdramatic
-
@Matt_Aranha I hear you and know that i absolutely value you and @Scottish. I'm grateful that you guys have my back. I apologized mostly out of embarrassment. Im 32 years old getting upset about internet people. Like Im better than that. but its nice to be back.
-
@Lindsey "Im 32 years old getting upset about internet people. Like Im better than that"
-
@m-y-s-t-e-r-y genuine question mystery, are you a troll, a cynic, a nihilist or what? Obviously there's a certain level of intelligence there so you're not just a dumb asshole. Would you care to enlighten me?
-
@Scottish nihilist cynic so yeah....
Dumb asshole -
@Lindsey I agree with everyone else: there's no need to apologize 😁 I can't imagine what it's like to be a woman on a site like this, but I'm thinking that it might feel like being surrounded by hungry hungry sharks.
For what it's worth, I'm rooting for you ✌️
-
Hey can I just say, i didn't post this with the desire to further escalate any unpleasantness on this platform. That being said, I am overwhelmed by the amount of support i've received. I had no idea there were so many kind people on here. And to my friends, you all know who you are. From the bottom of my heart thank you for your support
-
@m-y-s-t-e-r-y that's a shame. It can't be much fun
-
@NathanOnFire thank you so much for reaching out. It means a lot. I apologized out of embarrassment for the things i said and how i went about it. Im in no way sorry for the things i was subjected to though. and for what its worth, im rooting for all of us. In the words of Jim Jeffries at the end of every show, "I'm Jim Jeffries and I think we can all do better, goodnight"
