Well, it's been a week now since I've decided to voluntarily "retire" as being Sal. I actually did it prior to posting the "full circle" thread and if anything appreciate all the more being here with all of you folks and I know I can be honest about my feelings because you are all real people.
This is "terra igcognita" for me and actually required a leap of faith on my part to proceed mostly because I didn't know how I would feel about it all. The truth is, I feel great and even closer to all of you somehow because in this place we pour out our feelings , our hearts and our souls and I certainly do not feel like an "outsider".
The main difference being that this is something I have chosen to do and I feel I owe it to myself to get in touch with all of my feelings from a slightly different perspective. Actually, they are not "guy" ot "girl" feelings but my feelings as an amalgamated person who is in total control of how I choose to express them. In any case, I'm none the worse for wear and am really enjoying this.
I want to thank you all for continuing to be my friends and will continue to be yours. Being ourselves is what it is all about in any case and you folks have taught me a lot in that respect. Regardless of how things eventually work out in my personal life, I know I always have a "home" here with some of the greatest folks in the world.
