I'm not usually one to divulge much online. I don't know why. I guess I've still got a little of that old school in me that has trouble when it's not face to face. I can adapt though. I also kinda fit into the old geezer club since I just turned thirty. But hey, I'm never one to be too far removed. My gorgeous girlfriend told me about SG and she's been a longtime member.
Anyways, I needed to divulge some ish.... I recently divorced a wife of nine years and shortly prior to that I gave up religion. It's been a wild transition. Wildly good and worth all the issue.
My ultimate goal is to live life completely happy and without regret. I work in healthcare and I see death everyday. It didn't take long to realize that I didn't want to waste my years. To take up the life that I *was* a part of was to deny bliss and joy and replace it with discipline and mythical creatures to police my mind - a constant state of quandary without room to enjoy a moment free of guilt. It was to deny fundamental truths in society and nature, to deny sexuality, deny self love and acceptance, to deny acceptance of all people, to deny new experiences and freedom, and the constant contradictions hindered and nagged me.
So needless to say, I am happy to be shedding the old skin. I am happy to be delving into a new life of self acceptance that is full of new experiences. SG is yet another way that I can be who I am. Not a sheep. Self expressive. Fun. Happy. Social. Unconstrained by post-modern fundamentalist Christian norms. Emotionally and physically balanced.
I love the culture that is nourished here... Free self expression no matter who you are. All bodies and topics are open. Here, you are loved and included. We have found refuge in our like mindedness. I safely assume that, like me, many can even find refuge here due to a past or current unaccepting environment. But really, it is their loss. Those that fear an open mind and heart are losing out on all that life can offer. I love this redefinition of beauty. Essentially, it's what beauty always should have been. Free and open.
Anyways, enough ranting. I just thought the world may be interested a little in my giant changes. Maybe some can even relate and share as well. Thanks for reading. Much love.
