I had a thought briefly, about the email/story that's been passed around, about having friends for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Perhaps the same applies to scenarios, places or events in your life. For instance, maybe for some of us SC comes around to serve one particular purpose, whether that take a long time or not, and once it's been served that's all there is for us. Perhaps we stumble across it for just a little while, to pass some time for maybe a little longer than we would if it was to serve some purpose, and move on quietly. Then perhaps for some of us, SC is for a lifetime.
I thought of that because when I joined Weight Watchers I learned that it's really a lifestyle choice for most. It's not some fad, it's a choice to make a permanent, healthier change in your life. I've learned so much, changed my habits so much and I've really noticed. Whereas before I'd mindlessly go through a bag of chips, now I don't/can't. I used to also easily be swayed to just run out to get fast food, now, never, unless you count Subway. It's changed my mindset about things.
What if SoulCast is a mixture? Maybe for some it is a life choice, because coming here to blog makes us think differently and I bet more often than not, once you've started broadening your horizons, you don't quit. Also, I know many of us have learned a lot of lessons, realized how much support there really can be, and learned things about our own selves that we never knew. I don't know, for me, I like to think SC is a lifetime/style changing choice. But then, what if it's not? Scary to think that some day I may choose to say good bye here.
No, I'm not doing that now, just thinking. I tend to do that, lol, and sometimes it gets me into trouble, but humor me, OK? For now though, I'm not going anywhere, and I don't want to even THINK about going anywhere. I'll figure it out IF it gets there, but, I guess what I'm saying is ... I'm happy here. I'm happy knowing I have a place to go when I might not have anyplace to turn otherwise. I'm happy just to think of the support I've gotten, and that I know I'll get if I need it. I'm happy to know there are people who aren't afraid to say the hard things to me, even if I don't like it at first. I wouldn't trade you guys for the world.
So, whether I'm here for a reason, a season or a lifetime, thank YOU for being here SC. Now, I'm done being all squishy. Well ... not quite ...

This is a very interesting though.. hmm. I know for me SC has helped me very much in not even a year. I have seen so much support from strangers! More so than what my everyday people have given. I love knowing that I can come here and let it all out and figure my stuff out, vent, or just.. visit. ^_^ I to am not going anywhere anytime soon, I'm happy here. [= -

I feel the warm fuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzies, Heggies *big huge grin*
This is a beautiful post! Sooooooooooooo beautiful.
I am an SC lifer myself :) I would not have thought this 3 years ago in September. There were many times that I wanted to go, but I am so proud I stuck around... wave for wave of changes, but I manage to stick around the neighbourhood. And for someone like me, who always changes home in different countries, lol (3 countries and 3 continents, hahaha... good balance, eh?!) it is nice to have a `permanent home´ to consider...

I came to a place where I thought that it was time for me to move on, away from SC, but I missed it so much. It was like moving from a town you called home for some time, saying goodbye to your friends and neighbours, even the grumpy old hermit at the bottom of the street and then struggling to find your feet in a big city. Sure, you keep a little contact with some of your SC friends, an IM here, an E-mail there but you still feel like something is missing...you miss the smell of Botoni cooking dinner, the lights from Paperbackwriters's living room with curtains open, inviting you over for a quick cuppa. The buzzling of a family get together over at Queenparanoia's and the mysterious silhoette of Silverwhisper in the window of an attic, prolifically typing away on an old typewriter. I think that once you have settled in the SC neighbourhood you could try to move away, but you'll always have the urge to pop in for a visit or just move back for good. -

Paper - Isn't it wonderful, that no matter where we physically take ourselves, we can have a place which we call home that'll always be there, but yet it will never grow mundane because it's constantly growing and changing, but yet staying fundamentally the same. It's fantastic and I love it here for those reasons too.
Mouse - I think you've nailed it right there with that comment, it's like a comfortable, cozy, neighborhood that once you settle into it, you're in it for life, and it just isn't a place you can walk away from without looking back ... you always look back even if you try not to. What a neat little scene you created there, I like it!

Frags - No! Not a cliff hanger! Who will you take warm fuzzies from?! Who? How will we ever know! Lol, just kidding, that darned SC is trying to eat somebody's warm fuzzies I guess. Geez, did it forget there are plenty to go around?
