I am so looking forward for the group feature. One of the things i miss most. The community here seems to be alot different than the one at flickr. Smaller and less commenting/active, maybe looking at pictures and words but not saying anything. Compared to flickr I get only very few comments on my pictures here and i guess that is also because groups are missing, groups in which like-minded people meet and talk. some social aspects here are far better and i like that it's a "small place" in comparison cause it's more comfy :) but since i need your response, opinions, judgement, tags, comments, notes ... all that for and in my "reconstruction progress" with almost every SP it's just a "remarkable loss".
don't get me wrong. i do not want to force you to write something, i am happy about every single visit by every single person here, just wanted to say that it is noticeable in comparison. i appreciate every comment, good or bad, funny or serious. cause this is how i am, fun and serious... you should know that by now :)
on the other hand i don't need ( i mean like being addicted ) this personal, intense dialogue as much as i needed it some months back when i started with the 365 project and at times i felt really down. My inner development is recognizable and this is also thanks to this project and the people who accompanied me. i have worked a lot on myself, self-confidence, trust in and love of self. i still have tremendous downs but they seem to be not as low as they used to be and do not last so long.
i am almost finished with 365 and it's about time to say thanks to those that followed me here, that accompanied me ev'ry single day. you know who you are, and i know! i was talking to my therapist yesterday about this. he said i was the first to convince him that the social connection, relationships, friendships,... healing DOES work over the internet. it's not just virtual chat, fiction, or let's say it doesn't have to be. i guess it depends on the persons involved. A lot of kids out there just chat and play and forget about their next-door friends i think. I'm a nerd/geek whatever- yes- but i still have a real, a first life. And it IS in fact possible to combine the two lifes and make the best , something better out of it. Thanks to the pl0g people also for exactly proving this phenomenon with their social blogger-events, get-togethers, pl0gbars and all that.
I hope i will get to see at least some of my very very important friends someday to spent some time and laughter together. Those who live in the US of fuckin A mainly, some in other places of the world. Must tell Lara to finally invent and built a beamer to make things easier... ;-)
Enough of that, i hope you get the point! Me sayz: Thank you so very very much my friends! If you only knew what the time and words you shared and share with me means to me!
Hugs,
