Are we lost in this world?

[bully]

Sometimes I think I am. I look at the threads here and find I cannot look away, drawn in by the words and images.

Is that healthy?

I know that each of us has a reason for being here. Every reason may be different, but I have this feeling that, at the very heart of it, they are similar in most respects. As I won't try to speak for others, I will put myself on the line...

I first came here on a dare. I wasn't really looking for anything particular. When I got here, I was amazed at all of the different directions one could take. The annonimity was something that appealed to me, as well. I could talk to others, admire their pictures, enjoy their writings, all from the safety of my computer.

It eventually became a bit addicting, and though my posts don't show it, I am actually here often, lurking....

I have discovered things about myself that I wasn't aware existed. Thoughts that were hidden even to me. And so, I continue to come back, wandering the halls of lit... lost.

Why are some of you here. I would really like to know.

Yes this place is addicting but is fun because one can be more open and honest to others and more importantly to theirselves about their feelings.

I was drawn in by the controversies, the opinions, and the strong feelings I saw here, and I stayed because I was attracted to the people.

(...and then there was that personal ad I couldn't help but answer.)

I'm here because professional therapy is too damn expensive, plus I fucking hate shrinks.
