ViciousBliss:
It wasn't too long ago that i joined TPF. I was immediately welcomed by the whole community, Dooney's and all .
In the short time i've been here, i've made amazing friends that i'll have for years to come i'm sure. ( bessie ) the atomosphere is friendly and warm, and there's always something to keep me interested.
all that aside, this place has been my number one resource for support in life. I've been going through crisis after crisis in my little 22 year old life, and this community has pulled me right up onto my feet. i'm still dealing with all of my problems, but the encouring, inspiring ladies and gents in this forum have really changed my life. Not only do YOU ALL have intelligent, REAL opinions on the situations in my life i come to you about, but it's like ALL of the community members who have lovingly responded to my every word, have made me feel emotionally protected and safe.
i've never been a part of a community like this, where we all share a common interest, and can help eachother through life. i know that sounds kind of sheltered, (i'm not sheltered by any means) but i've never been one to join clubs or post on forums.
When i came across this place the first time, i kind of just went right by it, but kept it in the back of my mind. (i was surrounded by a bunch of friends and the whole forum thing was new to me)... so one night while Gayman (roommate) was sleeping, and i was all alone, i googled "the purse forum" which is all i remembered... and it brought me here...
and here i am today, posting an INSANE amount of posts a day, while recieving WONDERFUL advice, assisting ladies and gents in exciting purchases, ENABLING!!!... which we're all guilty of hehe... and so much more. obviously this place has inspired me to make a few purchases, and i couldn't be happier with them! this whole experience has been wonderful so far, and i've only belonged to this wonderful flourishing community about 3 months now!
what keeps me coming back? definately the people. the community members i've met here have really shown me a better side of humanity. in real life, i've had tough luck with friends backstabbing and being unsupportive, and this place just LOVES to remind me how great some people really are . every time i feel down someone has something sweet to say to make my day a little better, or some encouraging words, to help me remember i'm stronger than to not have control of my life.
it's been an enlightening experience to belong to this community, and has really made me a better person. i have more patience, and have learned to think before i speak (or in this case, type!). most importantly The Purse Forum has taught me to look at life through a more positive perspective, and gives me something to look forward to every day.
this place rocks my socks.
PS: i love this place so much my gayman joined too! mr.dooney!
