MY rules

I grew up having to hide any emotion. Every, happy, sad, scared. They were all used to hurt me. I learned a great poker face. So that is why it is hard to write this but I have nothing to lose.

Today I live my life assuming that we all do the best we can. I assume good intentions unless otherwise proven to me. I expect people to be honest and to treat eachother the way they wish to be treated. I have my own crap, all over the place in fact. However, I try to be kind and caring in each interaction. We are not here to be unsupportive or mean. There is a lot of inherent trust that goes into people posting here.

While I agree with Doc that there are going to be differing opinions and misunderstandings, this is a place where we can be our best selves. We can love unconditionally with little fear of returned pain. I am such a child when it comes to the politics and games adults play. I am what I am and what you see. I am very open.

My need to post this is because this site has been devisive and weird as of late. Kimmy's post makes me know there are things going on that I am not aware of.

Lets be our best selves and support eachother. Lets stop with petty ways. Let's let me figure out what everyone else is speaking about.

I wish for peace and kindness to us all.

I agree. I guess I have no clue what's going on, either.

I'm no good at those games that adults play, either. I am a child in my soul but have an adult body.

Yes Lexi, you speak wisely, I too am a child.

There has to be a safe place to share feelings and thoughts. The world outside can be so judgmental and harsh. Why bring that here? I need to be able to speak and be heard and listen and respond. I think that is reasonable.

If that could only happen here.... Thank You for saying out loud just how I feel!!!

I know a better place.

brian..i was so happy to see that you had posted...i've missed you but i'm perplexed with your post......w3here is a better place????

I absolutely agree with this post wisewoman. I have been saying this for awhile now, that things have been changing at PC.

I mean no matter you go, if there's a group of people sharing opinions and thoughts, there will always be some sort of conflict....even the minor respectable ones. Everybody thinks different.

I think that the conflicts and problems that PC has been experiencing in the last couple weeks are minor, and a phase that will soon pass. With time things will go back to as they were before.

If not then we would definitely have to come together and produce an idea that would.
