Desire to connect...connection with desire

I've been here for several months now. I came here for one reason, but along the way have made connections...some friends...some more...that keep me coming back.

The desire to keep connecting is strong. It's essential to life...to living fully. And the desire, for me, can't come without that connection.

I'm frustrated lately with people that I've become close with, who suddenly disappear with no warning or reason or word. Just gone. Completely. I find myself hoping they have found what they need and are living a full life. But am a little sad about the hole they leave behind.

So I am looking for you if you are strong enough to connect with me. If you are brave enough to stay and build something strong...a friendship...or more, if that happens to work for us both. And if you are the kind of person who will have enough respect for me and for what we've built to let me know why it ends.

I'm looking for the needle in the haystack.

I imagine there won't be many of you who answer this. But I'm going to out it out here anyway.

Yep, I've had that happen. I've had a few holes as well. Especially if its someone after years of getting to know them. But it was still worth it.. I guess if its like ships passing in the night I try to remember...ships are slow.
 
I know what you mean. It unfortunately seems to be par for the course online. Or maybe not just online...

That said, there are exceptions which make it all worthwhile.

Exactly. And I am looking for the exception to the rule. The needle in the haystack. :)
 
A few people have PM'd me about the opening post in this thread. I think it, ore than any other, really describes well what I'm after. So bumping this thread for that reason.

Thanks
 
Alas Crimson, some haystacks don't have any needles but there is a whole world of people. The nature of this site is that people come and go - it is something we do in our down time. When life takes over or you go on holiday, Lit is well in the background - not a priority. I really like to write stories and pop them on Lit and have a dozen or so but haven't finished any new ones in ages for this same reason - life got in the way.

Lots of people are happy to chat - me included.
 
I think your OP covered what you were looking for quite nicely. I'm looking forward to a possible chat with you! :)
 
I know exactly what you mean, and I wish you all the very best in your search.

I've just had someone up and disappear on me, and I hope you will not have to endure many such experiences.
 
I like to connect too.

Like you I have some memorable acquaintances that after years just vanished. One I kept looking for a long time.

I wish them well and treasure the friendship we had
 
Tonight I'm going to be one of those people. :) I'm posting on my own thread and I'm hoping there are people out there tonight who can relate to my original post.

Are there any other restless folks out there, looking for the same thing as me?

I completely empathize. I have made several friends online, both here and elsewhere, who just disappear. While the relationship is obviously different since we are "only" friends online, it still stings when they leave. I am always open for conversation, and if you ever just want someone to talk to, let me know.

Thank you :)
 
I can't do this anymore.

I've said this as well. Sometimes it's best to take a step away from lit then come back a time later with fresh eyes and a new perspective. Or you could try just meeting new people on the playground! Lots of fun threads and no pressure! I hope things look up for you!
 
I can't do this anymore.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

I wish I had the words to make you feel how I think we should all feel: adored, wanted, appreciated, lusted after, loved.

I wish I could tell you that some wonderful lover and friend is just over the next bend and that everything will be alright.

In the meantime, big hugs.
 
Very well written. We all strive for those connections, few say it out loud leaving yourself naked emotionally for all to see.

I hope you find some connections. Feel free to reach out to me too, if your inbox wasn't overflowing.

This made me cry. Thank you.
