What's your purpose here? (on SW, not in life lol)

I just be here to say shit 🤷

That's why the top of my page only says "words & shit" & I've never had an "about me"
That's never changed because I don't know how to describe myself. I just be around here saying whatever words & shit comes to mind 😅 it makes sense to me.

I guess I'm here to be myself, share experiences, & learn from others. I've always saw that as the whole point of EP & SW. It's literally in the names 🤷 this place is about us coming together from our own worlds & sharing shit in common. I don't need to define myself here because I just talk & let people decide what they want. That's what people will do anyway, ya feel me?

Like you I look at this site as a place for us to come together from our own worlds and finding our similarities and differences. As you perfectly said I don't need to define myself either. My primary purposes are to have fun with those who want it and offer support to those who need it.
@ChiefJustWalks It is a wondrous feeling to have friends you've never met in places you've never been.

@onrealityofdreams it is 👍 especially since I've never traveled lol
@ChiefJustWalks A win-win.

I spend a lot of downtime due to my health, and although I'm a loner type in some ways, this place provides the connection (s) I still yearn for, and my besties are here. I can express myself here in ways I can't otherwise, along with my creative side; although there's really no sign yet on this profile. I'm also an insomniac at times, so it gives me a place to visit when I am. I also like relating to others, in hopes I can help in some way. Others are automatically doing the same with me. In all, it's like a shelter and safe space. 🤍
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@moonlightlullaby i feel like this place attracts a lot of us loner types. I've always considered myself the same. We can all be loners together here & at times it lifts us up to feel understood by like-minded individuals. I'd agree with this place being like a safe place
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
I say things here that would make people IRL uncomfortable to know I’m feeling. But I also enjoy that I can meet people from different walks of life that I wouldn’t otherwise get to.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SwampFlower I get that. With my background & upbringing, I never felt comfortable saying most of the stuff I say here, anywhere else. We can be very honest here without our family or friends being all up in our business
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
@ChiefJustWalks Yeah, I also used to be the queen of over sharing here and had to learn some discernment 😅

I see it as like my anonymous diary where I can get feedback (we used to have spaces on the internet for that and this is this closest thing left, I think) but still need to be careful.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SwampFlower I probably overshare sometimes 😅 I've toned it down over time I think but I still don't try to hide shit. But I appreciate the feedback honestly. I know people tend to be supportive but I'm fine with people being against me too. As long as it's not hateful of course because I do wanna be constructive overall
BillyMack · 46-50, M
Started as a means of escape. Then it was a chance to be funny and get some laughs. Now I’ve added hopefully being a nice human being to some of those here who struggle.

Plus there are some cool people here too.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@BillyMack I can relate to all that. I was 15 when I joined SW & it was originally because I had nowhere I could be honest about the craziness in my life. Seems like this place can be a lot of different things depending on where we're at in life
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
I've met some pretty good people who I still talk to many years later. I honestly enjoy the thought of real life friendships and I like the people I talk to, including you.

I can't tell you my main reason though, I think I just am lol if that makes sense. I don't really have an end goal of anything.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SatanBurger I like that you're always around too 🙃 I consider you a friend & I've seen you around for years so I'd be a little sad of you were gone. I'm glad you stick around & make your own purpose
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@ChiefJustWalks Same to you and if you ever wanted to reach out you can 😊
FrozenWasteland · 61-69, M
My main purpose seems to be to demonstrate the power of inertia. I joined EP a million years ago and just never left -- at least not for more than a year or two at a time.

I've met a very few truly amazing people here, and I like to think that I occasionally bring a little bit of good to their worlds -- as they do so often to mine. Or, at the very least, I try. That's the closest thing I got to a purpose here.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@FrozenWasteland this made me imagine you as a timeless dude moving through the galaxy who's always been around & plans to still be. That's pretty cool though & a pretty good purpose here if you ask me
FrozenWasteland · 61-69, M
First time I've ever been called a "timeless dude", @ChiefJustWalks but, hey, I'll happily take it. Thanks.
faery · F
I feel ya

Believe it or not, I'm here for the content, lol. It distracts me from my own thoughts a lot. I read and comment more than I post. I laugh a lot and learn stuff sometimes.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@faery that's believable 😅 I used to use this place as a form of entertainment too. It's surprisingly a good place to laugh with people & partake in the jokes
faery · F
@ChiefJustWalks The people here are top-tier hilarious 😙👌
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
This is my chance to feel human connection. To say the things I could never tell anyone. I can be supportive and care about people and hear about them without being the creepy person.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@ScreamingFox in my opinion that's probably the best way to view it & treat this place. You do a good job at it too. You're one of those people who make this place what it is
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
A bit of everything. And not any one thing.

I have said before this profile as well is sort of a legacy for me. Which is more of a catch all. If anyone were to really look, I have multiple things about me. Quite diverse.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@DeWayfarer pretty cool way to view it. It feels like I've always seen you around since the beginning so you're definitely a staple here
I am here to be a whiny butt because I don't talk in real life. 😅 And I thoroughly enjoy reading people's posts even though I don't interact much. I guess I'm quiet all around.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Nadie yeah I always get the vibe from you that you don't wanna be too social but you also are intrigued by people 😅 you're always one of the best people around here
@ChiefJustWalks I love people watching!
YoMomma ·
Idk venting i guess.. i was showing off selfies and what not but trying to quit that behavior these days 😳 sigh
YoMomma ·
@ChiefJustWalks oh .. ☺
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@YoMomma aw I think I have seen you actually 😊 my mistake. You're beautiful though
YoMomma ·
@ChiefJustWalks oh ok ☺ thanks ☺
Cigarguy · M
I just use this as a place to write the crazy in my head. It's helps me alot.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Cigarguy hell yeah, keep doing that. It's one of the biggest purposes of this place in my opinion
PeachyK · 100+, F
Hope to connect and make friends, low demand relationships, and fun entertainment.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@PeachyK the low demand relationships part is pretty nice to be honest. I've had friends for years in this place & we don't gotta ask or expect anything out of anyone but we're always here
JohnnySpot · 56-60, M
Just wanted to write and comment on Ten Word Stories.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@JohnnySpot oh damn I remember those! 😂 I think I even wrote a few back in 2016 or '17
SlippingAway · 46-50, F
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SlippingAway despite all the jokes we make about SW, this really is a good place to connect & be real
Mordechai · 31-35, M
Me too dude, it's like an open journal I guess.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Mordechai I like your name btw. It always reminds me of Regular Show 😅
Mordechai · 31-35, M
@ChiefJustWalks haha it's actually from a khruangbin album I just like the word
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
For me it is the only diary that I have been able to keep writing. Every other attempt has fizzled out after a month.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@ninalanyon this is a good place to use as a diary too. It's better than keeping things to ourselves
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
I have one? 🤔
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@CrazyMusicLover well.. we don't need one 😅 we don't owe anything to anyone we can just be here for no reason lol
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@ChiefJustWalks Exactly. 😅
I dont hava purpose i kinda just float around
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@TryingtoLava you might not realize it but you're a light for so many of us here. The brightest one. Almost like you're our lighthouse 🙃
@ChiefJustWalks awweeee thats so sweet <3
im not sure. but whatever it is, I'm not getting it here..
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@dirge maybe you're here just to be here. It's surprisingly better than being in a lot of other places. That's not bad at all
@ChiefJustWalks maybe, but I don't think that will last.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@dirge sadly, nothing ever does. I just try to get the most out of it while I can
Monalisasmith86 · 41-45, F
I’m here to be honest about myself and say the truth
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Monalisasmith86 we can always count on you to say what you're thinking 👌

@HoeBag I'm not really into other social medias either. I use FB but I hardly post or scroll on it anymore. I'm actually trying to use it a little more again lately but I still never post anything. Idk what to share anymore 😂 I guess I prefer this place too.

Good thing there's not a way to track how many days we've spent online 😂 because I probably wouldn't wanna know mine either
SkeetSkeet · 100+, F
Rant/vent about random things in my life
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SkeetSkeet hell yeah 👌 I feel annoying sometimes when I'm just venting about my life but that's what this place was for to begin with

The common denominator between these issues is the Sasanach!
SomeIrishPerson · 31-35, M
@SwampFlower
Yes. Sit down and pay attention as I tell you all about your culture.
