Fungirlmmm ยท 51-55, F Best Comment
When I chose fungirlmmm it was 1994. I was still a girl at that time. Fun because I am always saying let's go grab some fun and mmm because I say love is mmm mmm good. It wasn't really meant to be sexual.

@CCMorgan some things I don't mind spiked. Just not my cider.
Noble ยท 56-60, M
@CCMorgan What a fantastic story; I loved reading it ...thanks so much for sharing!!!!

I managed an organic fruit company for a bit and weโ€™d make unpasteurized organic hard cider, along with a few other things, and it was toooooo good:)

My first one was Stormeyes/Stormsoul. I always liked storms but simultaneously I was being hit by life's storms too. I was really, really angry then.

My next was ArmyOfOne. I came out of it all like a champion and took things head on. I won fighting it all myself. It was pretty good times.

Then there's Odyssey. I got it from the story of Odysseus. A reflection of the past glories but I started entering a darker storm. Journeying through these major life altercations. Times got really dark...

That all lead to my username now. Fissure. I fell into the dark abyss of life again. My heart has been ripped out of my chest during Odyssey, my home is being lost, my future is literally at stake, and I was being tempted regularly to commit suicide. It hasn't been a good year.

Each of my usernames tell a story. I always wanted them to.
Viper ยท M
@XReaganX I know, you can't help the thoughts, I've dealt with them too, but you can make sure the good people of SW don't miss you! :)
Bleed ยท 41-45, F
Yeah I had such good times then. I must have left about 6 years ago. By the time I tried to come back it was read only and everyone was gone.
If you ever need someone to talk too I have way too much experience with having your heart stomped on, being homeless and suicidal thoughts.
@XReaganX
Noble ยท 56-60, M
Iโ€™m just getting caught up on your response and the thread that followed. Your story rugs at my heart. I sense you have a lot of people here that care about you and want the best for you. And now, you can add another friend to that list. Being so open and willing to share - to communicate as you have, draws me in. Please know, and you too, @XReaganX, that even though weโ€™ve only just crossed paths, Iโ€™m a damn good listener, and my advice can often be sound, but at the least, I can blabber enough to distract you from any pain and sorrow you may be experiencing. I recognize itโ€™s not that easy, but damnit, friendships have to begin somewhere.
