EVERYONE NEEDS AT LEAST ONE FRIEND

Some people just seem to have a hard time with life. I am one of those people. I don't want to be. I want to be one of those happy, carefree, free spirit kind of people..........you know, always cheerful and outgoing and doing creative things. Sometimes I think that there is a person like that inside me. I know so, I've seen a glimmer of that spark here and there during some really wonderful moments. But then the blanket comes back over, making it hard to see or breathe or live.... I'm tired. I'm getting older. I'm ready to burn that blanket.

I guess this web site is my "letter to the world that never wrote to me" that Emily spoke of. So here it is. I've see a couple of other sites on the Internet that I will include on this site because they are created by and for others like me, who have been hurt by people they loved and trusted more than anyone, their parents. No, this isn't a parent bashing page. Gosh, I'm a parent myself! It is just a place to go to find a friend. Because everyone needs at least one friend.

Being true to my nature, I'll worry what family and friends think if they see this page. But you know what? I'm just going to ask, again, as Emily did, that you judge gently of me. I'm doing this for me........and for the others like me.

Some who know.............. Escape to Gapland
