[COLOR="blue"]Well for me personally, and I bring this up probably a lot (I'm very modest ;I ),I joined primarily for the purpose of learning about different people and cultures, because I haven't been off my island very much (only twice to the same place, nearly 5 years apart) and when you know pretty much every thing there is to know about and on your 21 sq mile piece of rock, things tend to get boring.
I love the fact that I can come on here and live somewhat vicariously through you all and experience your cultures and lifestyles, even though they sometimes confuse and don't appeal to me. Because I'm not sure if the sentiment gets across if you dont live and come from a place that is the size of a fucking American
football stadium, but the world is a big place and sometimes you wanna be able to move more than just left and right.
So its upsetting sometimes when people you've come to know and learn about/from dissapear, because not only are you losing a friend, but a wealth of new information and experiences.
And while I may be a bitch sometimes(all the time ;0 ), I really do care about some of you silly bitches. In my own Island boy way XD
I was contemplating deleting, only for the sake of simplicity, because I know its easy talking to someone from another state or county or even popular/similar culture, its not easy for someone to learn about a new one, especially a socially stigmatized one.
And that might be me being all drama queen, but its how I felt and feel sometimes, which is why I mostly type and talk in a way most of you would understand, which I don't mind doing for the sake of communication, but it would be nice sometimes if someone spoke to me in a way I understand.
Trivial I know, but hey ;I
A lot of my girlfriends and boyfriends I met on here have gone, and I haven't even been here that long ;0 , but people do move on sometimes. I remember a lot of us discussed it once(a long time back) and it was pretty much the consensus that when it does happen, we should take the good and the bad and make something beautiful of it. And if you wanna keep it touch, leave a bread trail
