But, I fear that physical loneliness goes with the territory. We are always going to have feelings of loneliness - we need to learn to deal with it constructively. Don't ask me how, I'm still trying to figure out that myself.<BR/><BR/>I do have my imaginary friend, but ... I think he's a lesbian :)Abelard Enigmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166049686152203530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072949053404807587.post-34084414526709163922007-09-27T23:08:00.000-04:002007-09-27T23:08:00.000-04:00OH, if we all could know that we aren't alone.

I'm game for doing anything I can to help you have that someone to talk to. <BR/><BR/>I looked over your questions post and feel that I have pretty good answers for them all.<BR/><BR/>Drop me a line and we'll go from there:<BR/>theDOThiddenDOTgayATgmailDOTcomHiddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348504994762507495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072949053404807587.post-21616726756188135112007-09-27T20:51:00.000-04:002007-09-27T20:51:00.000-04:00Peter,Welcome to our Moho corner of the Bloggosphe...Peter,<BR/><BR/>Welcome to our Moho corner of the Bloggosphere.<BR/><BR/>I went on a mission, went to BYU, was alone for a few years, found someone the Spirit told me to marry, have raised a wonderful family, am still married, and now I'm a empty-nester plus a happy grandfather. . . Whew!! Life can go really fast! Oh, and BTW, I'm still SSA. <BR/><BR/>So all I really want to say is that you CAN be happy, successful and do whatever you set your mind and heart on doing. Heavenly Father knows us, our winding paths are vital to him, as much as anyone else's. Our unique 'wiring' affords us some special talents, so I hope you will learn to appreciate your individual sensitivites and gifts.GeckoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846438788253129899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072949053404807587.post-27691603408249232532007-09-27T17:35:00.000-04:002007-09-27T17:35:00.000-04:00I mean athornyway@gmail.comI should really remembe...I mean athornyway@gmail.com<BR/><BR/>I should really remember to proofread my comments before I post them.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374110841642375968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072949053404807587.post-22114311894834497902007-09-27T17:33:00.000-04:002007-09-27T17:33:00.000-04:00Well, if you ever want someone to talk to, per e-m...Well, if you ever want someone to talk to, per e-mail or even in person, I'm here.

The turning point was finding others like me - gay but desiring to stay faithful in the church. It was an epiphany - I was no longer a freak of nature.<BR/><BR/>So, I understand exactly where you are coming from.Abelard Enigmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166049686152203530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072949053404807587.post-36975436457413008602007-09-27T14:46:00.000-04:002007-09-27T14:46:00.000-04:00Amen to what Beck said.

There are many of us who have been and are in the same thought-process you are on - and there is a way to keep going and not beating yourself up and not condemning yourself as a monster... you are not alone!<BR/><BR/>That is the beauty of this community. We may not be exactly on the same path, some of us are long down the road in faithful marriages with family and kids - but we're still fellow brothers who "know what it feels like".<BR/><BR/>You're not alone, dear brother!Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159223254071653666noreply@blogger.com
