Moveing On / Meeting Friends / Conservative Liberals?

Get over it and move on? I must half agree, as moving forward is where life is meant to be lived. You never really get over anything though, as all experience, good, bad or indifferent, stay with us and combine to make us the people that we are. I am truly ready to put my last entry behind me and move forward. To move any direction but forward will either leave me trapped in time living in the past or caught in a loop unable to experience all that life has to offer.

I have met some nice people on-line and really look forward to carrying these on-line meetings into some true friendships. I want to live, to learn, to experience the joys and share in the sorrows of others in the way that only true friends can. I know that I need to overcome a definite shyness before I can really reach out to others in the manner that I would like. While I realize that sitting quietly in a chat room is not an ideal way to make friends, and unfortunately does appear to attract "trolls", I have never been able to manage a forward personality. It has, however, allowed me to listen to the subjects of choice in the room and see which of the ladies and gentlemen involved in the chat share my opinions on many subjects.

One of the biggest surprises I have had in entering the on-line T community, is that I am not alone in what I refer to as my "Conservative Liberalism". I guess I have always believed that by definition, if you are T that you must be liberal. I was surprised but very pleased to see how many of the ladies on-line have also managed to maintain the love of country, the respect for the flag and the hard line stance on criminals that I have. All personal freedoms are important, whether it is the freedom to dress the way you feel inside or the freedom to own a handgun to protect yourself or your family. I will give up my gun when they pry my pretty painted nails apart and take it.
