I have read a few articles about what Triond has meant to others, so now I figured it is my turn to write about my experience here. To be honest I have always felt that I never fit in. I was always a loner and by myself before I came here. Me now in my forties wondering where the hell time went. Nothing much to look forward to, just exsisting. Living the day to day boring life that I chose to live.
I joined this site after I had been searching online on how to get paid to write. This site was at the top of the search list, I had never heard of this place before. At first I was just checking around and book marked the site to come back to later.I looked at a few other places, but none of them popped out at me.
I did come back here a couple days later. I found it quite interesting from the other sites I had visited. So I figured why not, not much else was going good for me. At this point in my life I was low. I was going through a really bad time with my partner and that is still ongoing, and then you have the every day stuff that all of us go through. Life I guess.
Until recently I never wrote my thoughts down on paper. I thought who in earth would want to read them. I am just an average girl. I decided to join and see what happened, at most no one would befriend me and no one would read. That was nothing new to me, but I figured why not give it a try.
Well since then I have learned a lot from posting here. I had met a lot of really good people who also like to write, so right off we all have something in common. I also believe that after all the comments I have received that most that read like my posts. Their comments bring joy into my mostly sad life. I feel alive and fresh and happy. A smile crosses my face as I read what people think of my writings. Ya I make a penny here and a penny there, but most importantly I feel better about me!
This site is very therapeutic for me. I can hardly wait in the morning to open my computer and see how many views I have got and how many of my friends have read my new posts. If Ive made any new friends or have any new fans. Who stopped by for a short visit. Then Iam off to see what my friends have written. I try my best to comment on them all, or at least read them all.
The other thing is you never know who is reading. Who is just around the next post. So much fun this site is. How much it has helped me feel good about me. Opening up to complete strangers who now I know by name. What a wonderful gift Triond has been for me.
Acceptence is something all of us want and crave from the bottom of our souls. I found that here with all of you. I want to thank each and every one of you here for accepting me and taking me under your wing. You were and are there when I feel no one else is....Thank YOU !
