🥳Your Lit Year in Review [2022]🥳

[Grant55]

2022 was my introduction to Lit and The Playground.

My experience began by posting a personal ad in The Playground and my fellow Litsters took it and ran with it. I have come through that, have made friends, flirted, experienced distress, happiness and pleasure. I have worked through the tough times in 2022 and am ready to take on 2023.

So what about you? Let's hear your 2022 Lit story. What events were important to you? Did you find lust and happiness ?

(Please be kind and curteous and follow Lit rules. Please stay as positive as possible.)

Although Lit is not essential to my world, it is definitely a welcomed break from my reality. I will say that I have made new friends and possibly feel much closer to the Lit community as a whole. I’ve let my guard down in some cases, buried Lit dicks from the past (metaphorically of course), received some awesome dick pics (expecting more in my future) and enjoyed others’ company (I won’t go into details for their protection.)

Thank you for your post CB. Now others are sure to follow.

Lit got me through some tough times in the past. I would go so far as to say it, and she, saved me. I have made some incredible friends here, tho it seems most have moved on. 2022, in fact just very recently, i logged back in again. Its a very nice distraction from normal life. Lit will again get me through another Christmas season.

My 2022 on Lit has been delightful. Literally Lit has actually been one of the highlights of my entire year. I’ve made [real] friends. Had a few crushes. I think I’m working up to being seen as boutique pussy even..idk. Probably by the end of next year for sure.

I’m so grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to know, the conversations with my consistent people who I am oh so fond of. Love letters. Snowmen. Voice messages. Phone calls. Pictures of faces I adore. Jokes. Stories. Laughter. Genuine friendship. Poems. Songs. Feeling like I can be my authentic, spaztastic self. And last but not least, can’t forget about any and all of this year’s eboning sessions.

Ya. Anyway. Thanks PG. You da best.

My Lit 2022

Joined at the end of June.
Embraced promiscuity eBone wise.
Moved a lot of conversations to Skype and Kik.

Started a Coupled thread that seemed to make my little-known ass very visible. Started being friends with Lit females for the first time it seems. Wound up on the Coupled list with someone I’m no longer with.

Met current LitInterest. Bumpy road to what is now a committed, monogamous relationship. Learning to piece together our Ddlg style. Cybering is

I continue to make more friends. Spend most of my time on my AmPics thread, my myriad Everything Sports threads, Post a Song threads and Chaos.

I look forward to seeing what 2023 brings!

What a great idea Grant! Thank you.

I've been on the boards for a few years, but spent the year away from friends and family. As a result, I spent much more time here than I have in the past.

My love life here this year has been up and down. I thought I found my forever person, but I blew it. Like so often happens, when one door closes, another opens.

My real story this year is all about friendships, I've made some wonderful friends this year and held onto one or two from before. I can say with complete confidence that I have the best tribe here. I love you guys!

Lit for me is an escape been on and off for almost 12 years... or longer.

2022 saw me interacting more in the PG than in the past

A lot less sexual escapeds, a few flirts here and there but much less time in private conversations than years past.

While my personal life is too much to handle pg has been a pleasent escape, even though I am on here because I am depressed.

My 2022 on Lit…

I have learned to embrace the ignore feature which has made for a better overall Lit experience.

I have reconnected with someone who will always be very special to me. I have made some wonderful new friends and strengthened relationships with old ones. I have found peace, happiness and contentment for the first time in a long time which has been amazing. I have ventured sexually outside of my comfort zone and learned new things about myself. I have also met someone who has changed my life for the better in many ways…a best friend, my partner in crime, my kinky equal, my person.

 

[geronimo_appleby]

not as busy as in the past...

 

[Nevyn_Black]

My Lit 2022 Has been a struggle. Lots of uncertainty with work and finances, lost a lot of peoples respect and basically once again I failed to change my stars. I lost what I thought was real love. But I also remembered some things about myself and my own strength.
I really hope the next year will be better though, I admit.

 

[JerseyJade]

There was some life changing moments for me in 2022... one of them being a relationship that I was in coming to an end. I won't get into the reason why, but I'm a much happier person because of it. Being single again has made my social life more busy, so I don't get to spend as much time on Lit as I used to. But I always try to spend some time here each day because I have some wonderful friends that I truly love and I would miss them if I didn't. I also confess that I don't visit many of the threads that I used to visit because... well, I won't get into that, either... but there are a couple of threads that I make a point to visit because they're fun and drama free and most of my friends hang out on them as well.

Good job on your new thread, Grant.

Okay, that's it for me. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, everyone... and may the New Year bring you lots of joy and happiness.

My Lit 2022 was something unexpected. And if you know me, the length of this post will come as no surprise.

I originally joined Lit in 2020 during COVID lockdown, and by the end of that year had drifted away. I came back to the forums in late 2021, and in Feb 2022 discovered The Playground.

I met some wonderful friends in the games threads, and among the first to make me feel welcome in PG were @fsa52 and @Anastasia1999. I continued to wander around the threads and eventually bumped into someone who would impact the rest of my 2022.

That person was @LaisDeMarieDeFrance.

Through some happy twist of fate, we crossed paths in a thread, and eventually exchanged a few PMs. There was a minor misunderstanding early on, but we worked through it and have since developed a friendship that I treasure every day. She is my BFF and not a day has gone by in the past 10 months where we haven't talked/messaged. (Yes, we've argued, and both have been stubborn, but even through that there is always time for civility.)

In early March, in a series of PMs, we came up with an idea. After, along with some others, disrupting a few threads with our insanity, we decided to start our own thread.

That thread was the original Chaos thread (aka Reaction Whores).

The purpose was to create a safe, drama-free thread, with an underlying goal of reeking havoc on the new reaction points system. Along with other "founding" members such as @cheekygirl75 , @SirConradPeckereye , @Sundayschild , and many others, the thread took off, hitting 100K posts in just over 4 months. At that point, the thread was closed and was reborn as the Chaotic Coffee Klatch.

I was also able to meet, in person, a couple of the wonderful friends I made in Chaos. A great breakfast meeting with one and a concert with another.

Life (and work) intervened during the summer and has greatly reduced my Lit time over the past several months. I still read the threads as often as I can, and comment here and there, but have lost contact with some of the great friends that made up Chaos. (One of them apparently died. )

So maybe 2023 will allow me more Lit time again. Maybe it won't.

But what I got out of Lit in 2022 is something irreplaceable - a lifelong BFF as well as some additional wonderful friendships.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a great 2023 to you all.

 

[pandaburr]

This is so sweet gg. I love that you two found and have each other.

Pffft! Give this man a donut and he'll be your friend for life.

I almost got caught up in the spirit of the season and said something nice about you. Caught myself just in time. Shew! I hate you and I'm just using you for the donuts.

Me? Stubborn? You must have me confused with someone else!

2022 started off with heartbreak. But as the universe does sometimes, it opened a wonderfully amazing new door while shutting my foot in another that I was desperate to keep open. Little did I realize how dumb I was being trying to hold on when the best gift of all was right in front of me.

@Grant55 I'm glad this thread wasn't around at the end of 2021. That would have been a completely different story for me.

This is so sweet gg. I love that you two found and have each other.

He is the sweetest! Thank you!

 

[AngelWithAShotgun]

My Lit 2022 has been a fascinating study of social anthropology. It got me through a rather difficult time in my life, to explore open relationships in the process and surprisingly, learn to forge friendships that I can integrate with my inner world. It's been a liberating experience.

 

[JKL123]

Grant thanks for starting and coming up with this thread.

My Lit 2022 is the first year I have been on for an entire year.

I have laughed at many posts, and sat with broken heart from some really sad posts. I have made some great friends here.

I had a disturbing medical diagnosis this year and one friend here was very kind and compasssionate, and helped me learn about what I was facing, I will always have a special spot in my heart for her kindness and understanding. She helped me find a way to have everything in it proper perspective.

I tried to be involved in the Chaos thread .... It moves and changes so fast (chaos was the perfect name for the thread). I'm still dizzy from my attempt to jump in. But the people there are all great! I found it much easier to watch from the sidelines. AND Please coach don't put me in I'm NOT ready to play.

I wish ALL here on Lit not just the ones I have met and have had exchanges withbut everyone, A Happy Holiday season for however you celebrate. And I hope that we all have a prosperous and healthy New Year!

I woke up one morning to the realization that it was 2022. I blinked and we are now quickly approaching 2023!

But within that blink of an eye, there has been great fun in so many ways on the Playground this year. I have wonderful friends I have had since I joined Lit and I have made friends with many more through the year. It's the laughter and camaraderie throughout the Playground that keeps me coming back for me.

I hope you all enjoy the holidays and may 2023 be a healthy, fun and naughty year for all!

I don't care what Orchi says about you, you're a good guy! (jk, she only says wonderful things about you)

 

[lakesailer_mi]

Most of my 2022 was spent still on "Lit Break." I came back, TBH, with some trepidation. But it has been a wonderful homecoming, reconnecting with some old friends, and already making some new ones.

I look forward to continuing to be active in 2023 and maybe even write and post a new story or two.
I do want to say thanks to many friends here for welcoming me back. And to new friends who welcomed me as well.

 

[Gerilynn69]

I have been bouncing in an out of Lit for a long time.. never used the forums much till recently. Been enjoying myself and expanding my list of desires.

 

[EndCreditsPart2]

This has been my first time posting in about eight years, after deleting my old account. I shouldn't have been surprised that all of the people I remember talking to aren't around anymore.

I've only been back for a few months. I've encountered some nice people and had some good conversations but since I'm effectively "new" here again, it is taking some time to connect. The smut continues to be top notch, which is always appreciated.
