> good enough? I'm not the type to put on airs or try to be someone I'm not, and I think, sometimes, that I should just "play the game". I don't know anymore. I know I'm not always the most open, and I have a hard time letting people in and letting them really get to know me at times. But, I don't judge others and I try to treat everyone with kindness, give them the benefit of the doubt (time and again sometimes) and not hold grudges. Maybe I will always be on the outside looking in. Oh well, it doesn't matter. I'm not sure what I am trying to say so I will just shut up.

> Sorry.oh my gosh, tam, your post made me so sad. i can't believe you would ever feel that way. i was skimming through today to check to see which posts i hadn't replied to yet (i am so disorganized and time-crunched right now..some days i have more replies to do than time to do them) and saw that i had never replied to your post that was so great and wonderfully supportive. i love the way you have about you.
sometimes it is easy to get lost in all the fluff around here....i think we do somehow need to restore this place in a sense so that ppl don't feel like they are going to get lost in the shuffle for being serious or real or supportive, but maintaining the current ambiance as well (let everybody coincide happily). this is tricky...i don't know if i'm making sense here or helping...but i know what you mean exactly (at least, i think so....:)) i think this group would be a totally different story in real life....
i have always really liked and enjoyed your posts..it's nice to have a few ppl balance off all the silliness you find here sometimes.:) i like it that you are *real*, you are you. and you are so unbelievably nice, and have a wonderful charisma. i appreciate you immensely and always will.
(if i was off on any of this, i'm sorry...trying to help/understand..)
love you tamara,
amy:-)
