I sit here wondering if I should write this at all. There are some thing I want to address so that everyone is perfectly clear on where I stand. A friend of mine last night told me my reputation had been comprimised and another that the more I went on the worser I got. I do not appologize for standing up for what I believe or for who I believe in. I do appologize for letting my temper get to the point that I started acting like a child. While most things that were said didn't phase me, a few did. The other party accomplished some of what he set out to do. I actually went home and cried over what he said. Pretty silly huh? Considering all the other things in the world that are worthy of tears, my ego is not one of them. I like to think myself above getting hurt but, I guess I am not. But ya know what? When you jump in the fire you have to take the consequences of getting burned. No use to gripe about what you willing got yourself into. One thing that really bothered me was the comment that people thought I was an angel and that they would be shocked to see how I talked to the other party. (comment made by that party incase your wondering) I want to make it very clear (just incase there is any truth to that) I never came to this forum and claimed to be anything - especially an angel. I never wanted to be up on a pedastal. I only asked that I be accepted or me, nothing more. I always said that we are human and sooner or later we f*ck up. Yesterday was my day because I let my anger get the best of me. I don't ask for forgiveness and the only thing I have ever hoped for was accptance to be a human being with human emotions. I have always been tolerant of others except a select few. Anyone who knows me knows that I utterly despise arrogance, predjudice, deciet, and above all else ABUSE and willful harm to other people. These things are inexcusable. Yesterday was not the first time that I have gotten into an argument over these issues. I never talk nice to anyone who is blantantly like that and anyone who reads my posts knows that. Some things I believe in so strongly that I can't let them slide because they are my convictions. They are who I am. Would I be true to myself by pretending it didn't matter? I don't think so. Is there a better way to cope with this? I don't know.
OK. As far as my reputation goes, it's nothing more than what someone thinks about me. Some of you will still like me after this and others won't. It is what it is. I can't say I care if anyone thinks less of me for getting into an argument or having a naked butt pic. To think that all the good things I have done have been invalidated by that is ludicrous. I am still the same person I have always been. SO in that respect, I don't care what anyone thinks. I know who I am and I have never tried to be anyone else. When I came to this forum it was only with a good heart and good intentions. I wanted to help people and find companionship. I sought ways to be of assistance to other people because I cared. It wasn't for some vain "angel" status but because the people here are worthy of happiness and I see myself in them. I understand a lot about hurt and pain. I also understand about abusers. I still hope the people here find happiness but, I am no loner sure of my role in that and if I should continue at ALL. There are plenty of capable, loving people here to help anyone that needs support. I can't lie and say that I don't have a sour taste in my mouth from yesterday. I am uncertain if I should be here. Today I feel cynical and I haven't known that feeling in a long time. I have nothing left to give to anyone today. Hell, I don't even know if this is coherent. I just want to be alone after finishing this..........
