I Sometimes Feel Trapped By Life

Two years have passed since I first came into the virtual world. I think about the disdain I used to have for people who spend their time online and cannot help but feel a little ashamed for thinking that way. I came into this virtual world at a point in my life when my real world crumbled around me. The kindness of complete strangers helped me get better. As tears fell on my ipad typing out stories and sharing our lives, my days passed. The hurt healed slowly but surely. With the closing of EP, many of those first friends are no longer active on this site. Today, I remember those early August days and such a bittersweet feeling comes over me. I give thanks for my friends who are still here and I just want to tell them they are cherished.
