As a lot of you may have already guessed there are a lot of new members who are moving here from another site. Open Diary for many of us was a home away from home and for me it was a place I could bare my heart out and know it would be accepted.
When I first joined it was to make connections with people. Suffering from a personality "defect", has always made it hard for me to make and keep long lasting relationships with people. Whether they were friends, boyfriends, or family, if they had one day disappeared I wouldn't have cared.
It has been several years since then and I can proudly say that I no longer feel that way. When I'm with someone or talking to some it's not an act to look "normal" anymore. It's genuine. OD has a small part in that personal growth of mine and the people there impacted me in a way that I thought would never happen.
Having the opportunity to get to know someone and see them from the inside out, gave me a different perspective on the way I saw people in my day to day life.
And so with alot of my OD friends, I have said my goodbyes and for the few that I have managed to reconnect with here, I'm looking forward to the new connects and friendships I will make.
