I just wanted to briefly pop in & wish each & every one of you a Happy 2005.
I hope everyone's holidays have been well. Wow... 2005. A brand new year is upon us. I think it's time for me to shed all of the emotional baggae of 2004. It's all history now. 2005 brings us all a fresh start - a clean slate.
I also want to take this opportunity to say that I bear no ill will towards anyone here, despite the fact that I have e-mailed & PMed many of you and have not recieved a single reply. But I digress.
All that matters right now is that each & every one of you are all happy safe & healthy. However, this post does not mean that I'm officially "back".
I just wanted to pass through to wish everyone a Happy New year. But I cannot stick around. My work schedule does not allow for much free time, and my future plans for Lorna really don't leave much in the way of a common ground between me & anyone else here. I eventually plan to transition.
Plus I have been constantly reminded that I don't share much in common with anyone here anyway. But that does not make any of us "bad" or "wrong" or "weird". It's just the way it is. We're just different. Even in a forum of folks who have always felt "different & misunderstood" I still manage to be "different" myself.
Again, this is not necesarrily a bad thing. We are just who we are. I wish you all the best. 2005 is a new year, and I am going to try & kick smoking again. In the meantime, please take care of yourselves, and each other.
Peace out,
~ Lorna Taylor

Lorna,
You aren't different to me. Through very bad and terrible times in my life, this past two years, you were always there to help and support with the best advice and I felt you truly cared for me.
It was only as I was getting a control and acceptance of my life that I started to hear of all your terrible tribulations. I went off the deep end many times and still with all your problems you were there for me. It is easy for any of us to rant at our best loves and friends. Yet sometimes it does become hard for friends to understand that the release of hurt directed at us, is never personal. Some parents never learn that it is their responsibility to always be there for their children even if that child is not what they had hoped for. Friends need to learn the same.
Lorna, I am strong now. PM me and I will give you my personal home e-mail. Transition or not, you are still you and that will never change. I would be happy to have you rant at me when in great pain. (Though I do hope this next year will not be a repeat for myself or you at least in the bad respects).
Lorna, Take Care, Where Ever The Journey Leads You!

Me Too or Me Either???
Hey Lorna,
~
Nice to "not really" see you ... (just teasing OK???)
In a way, your comments remind me of a guy I work with ... since his marriage broke up a year ago, he's been tending to 3 dwarfs on his own ...
recently, he met a G-girl in the coatroom at the daycare, and within 2 dates they were the hottest thing since "Bill & Monica" ...
then, in 2 weeks, once the hormone charge had run itself down, and he had processed all the possible lifestyle scenarios through his cpu, used up all his "harddrive", and realized there was more to living a total and balanced life than full on penetration, he actually called off the relationship (against my recommendation) ...
then, (as I had predicted), just before Christmas, while his kiddies were visiting their mom and he had some downtime from all his normal daily excitement, he restarted some less intensive contact with his new G-pal ... to the point when a few evenings ago, they brought their (his 3, her 2) children together for a midweek "family evening" of supper and a sleepover ...
Who knows - after discovering that life as "porn stars" ain't all it's cracked up to be, they may even continue doing real world things together in the future ...
~
Given that it seems from what I read here @ the Forum, you, with all your innate and personal intensity, have endured some uncertainty and unhappiness in your circumstances, my hope and New Years wish for you is some stability, peace and serenity along with your progress.
Good Luck Lorna !!!
Love / Marda

Hi Lorna--
That's quite something, that you're going to transition. You're right that it does take you off in a different direction from what's going on here. Maybe in the future forums will be able to accomodate both CDs and TSs, but at present it's usually one or the other. You'll want specialized info that you can't get here.
That will be an adventure. Hopefully I will get to NYC sometime before 2006. This last economic year was not a good one for travel!
Best to you in 2005.

Transitioning . . . I envy you, Lorna--knowing what you have to do is the better part of the battle. I hope this goes smoothly for you--after all you've been through, you deserve that much. 
Yours,
Celia

Hi Lorna,
I've been out of the loop for a while. I'll have to read back to find out what happened.
Wow, transitioning. That's a big step. My prayers go out for you. Good luck.
I hope you have a wonderful new year too.
Hugs,
Kyra

Greetings from an old stranger.
Hi Lorna,
What's this 'old' thingy, bit sudden wasn't it?
Seriously, maybe you share more in common with some of us than you think, it may well just be that you are at a stage some of us reached some time ago. Personally I can only say that the anger which was always bubbling away just below the surface with myself all disappeared about 6 months into my transition, we can all be wise after the event, but life would have been so much better for myself and those around me if I'd made the decision years earlier.
You'll find your way, sometimes we just need to 'go with the flow' if we don't create the experience then we can't create the reality, whatever that may be for each person, it does vary naturally. Sometimes if we continue to fight then all we do is absorb the punches and create more pain.
Keep smiling.
Kindest Regards.
Sally.

Watch nature, because it’s our greatest teacher, it moves and flows and moves on again. We can never be free until we disengage, so allow life to flow as you find it. The way it is, is the way it is.
