I let the elderly and people with disabilities pass in front of me all the time. I don't mind at all. But when you get aggressive and push me out of the way from behind, we have a problem.

Victim, Victor, Villain, Visitor, Volunteer. I used to think I could only be one at a time. Slowly I’ve come to realize I am each all the time. I have to let pain be my guide to know when things are out of balance and remind myself that ultimately, I’m human, merely passing through this pitstop called life.

"It's another asshole Friday". I use it to describe a Friday when all the assholes seem to come out of the woodwork. I'm glad I have a conscience and am not a collector of medieval weapons. I'm just as glad that it doesn't happen all the time and that I can just shut the world out when I reach home.

I've been on FetLife for about a month...but with no luck...has anyone here been on it?....with any luck?....I feel I'm unattractive & middle aged which is a setback.... perhaps you need the looks & connections in the community (which I don't) ....is it a scam or just a bunch of creepy people or snobs?

What is it with the guys in this town? Meet them, in person or online, then after a couple messages and chats they disappear and don't get back to you. Are there that many women around that they can just pick and choose?

and i'm feeling personally challenged. Yes I know there are billions and trillions of planets and galaxies in the Great Beyond, but I feel attached to our Planet Earth. Oh well, best i can do is ride it out, hope for the best, be good to myself and be good to others. And, ha ha ha be good to the down-voters.

I’ve gone to a few different concerts lately and the friends I bring don’t dance! They want to take pictures and selfies to show other’s what a good time they’re having but can’t let loose and enjoy the music. Last nights show was amazing and I had a blast. Think from now on I’ll be going alone because I can find others like myself on the dance floor.

Sometimes I feel like I receive telepathic SOS alerts from people I haven’t spoken to in a long time. I’ll have recurring dreams where we’ll be deep in conversation or hanging out quietly together in some intimate setting. If telepathy is real, I hope I’m doing an all right job at helping them through whatever they need me for.

It’s not easy to come by. People are quick to judge before they know what created the situation that someone is presently living with. I’m a person with a lot of history. I’ve had nothing, I’ve had lots, I’ve lost it all and earned it back again. I’ve had love and I’ve lost love. I’ve experienced a lot of abuse from men, both physical and mental / emotional. So don’t judge me so quickly. You think I seem harsh but the person I’m speaking to has been far harsher. That person who feigns love and affection when all they really want is to suck every last ounce of life out of you until the person they met no longer exists. Until you’ve experienced that, please be quiet.

I confess that when people tell others that they should just quit their job because it’s making them unhappy, it bothers me. It’s not always so easy. Some people have employment barriers like disabilities or age that make finding a job at all much harder than it is for others. Financial realities mean that having a job is a necessity for the majority of people, so maybe instead of saying “just quit!”, they should just listen and try to be supportive. Sometimes people just need to vent and they’re not asking for advice.
