Thoughts Post your little thoughts.

I took a break. Covid forced me too. But upon my return I feel a different energy here. Realizing how many of the regulars over 35 yrs old/ and a few younger but mature ones have left.

With the amount of fake profiles, and now real profiles but such dolled up pics it ain’t really them at this point and the acceptance of them… just wondering as we get more mature do we tolerate less.

I like lots of people here. But there’s a handful that make this place intolerable at times. That’s sad. I’ve grown a lot in the 4 yrs I’ve been here. I see things differently now, And I have no need to be anyone I’m not.

it’s sad that lots of the good ones are here less or not at all.
that’s not a little thought. But hey.

Getting more intolerant of hypocrites...and of people posting updates saying great things about what they are/think, but they themselves contradict with their actions/words at other times...and thinking the rest are all too stupid to notice

Last year was a very rough year for me . I'm still trying to come out the other side of it mentally and in other ways. I'm still, internally , battling my thoughts and emotions. Guess I'm still in the numb stage from everything that's happened . Family and friends have been there all the way and still remain by my side for which I am so thankful for. Another thing that I'm very grateful for is YOU!!!...The people of FCN!!...So many wonderful, caring, amazing people on here that have kept me in line and on my toes. I'm rebuilding my life from scratch. It's hard and exhausting and sometimes I just don't know if I can keep doing the battle thing. I truly take my hat off to people that take hit after hit after hit and still remain solid. Some of those people are in here and I'm lucky enough to get to know them , love them and accept them them for who they are and what they have gone through and going through. Sooooooooo lol This is a shout out to the many friends I've made on here ...YOU ARE APPRECIATED!!!!! xoxoxoxoxox

You've always been one of my favorites here. Even if I have to help you out with the alphabet and counting, but I still like you.

My thoughts …. I have been a member here for far longer then I ever thought I would be. I have met some people who I now call my friends. I have spent many hours happily playing in the threads and laughing as the minutes turn into an hour with out me really realising.
But lately that fun has gone. Yes I know the world is a mess and people are struggling, but isn’t that just more reason to come here and escape if even for a moment?
I’m in a different Timezone to most so I know that makes a difference, however that never used to be a problem. I started a thread yesterday, something I thought would be fun, something that has been done in the past and people joined in on and seemed to enjoy. I logged in today and only two other had played ( thankyou @SweetLesGirl and @Harley31 ) and that is a little sad.
I’m not really going anywhere with this post, it is only the little thought I had after logging in. I hope the fun can be found again, but I’m really beginning to doubt that.

edit. As I posted this @DD_850 also added to the thread. Cheers to you

I do not know you that well, but we have mutual friends. Have not been here very long, myself. When I first arrived, early on, I met the people who are still the most meaningful friends to me today. @Heather @Locket44 and @Harley31 are examples of why I am still here. Otherwise, I would have left. I don't find it as fun sometimes as I did at first, and I don't know why. I AM 51...so, maybe I bore too easy with some things I might have enjoyed more 20 years ago, without ever getting bored! LOL

I think times change, and while this place is just an online site, friendship is still what friendship is to people. Games aside, ultimately, it is people that matter...or it isn't. That is up to each of us. But I know that as I have aged I find that connecting to a person as a genuine friend irl gets harder and harder to do. So, the friends I do connect with will matter that much more. Further, the mess of the world today just complicates it beyond any of our abilities to comprehend...because it is not just affecting me. It is everyone.

I posted a new game about a week ago and absolutely no one found it interesting. I chalked it up to a combination of timing and maybe the game sucked! LOL

I think everyone is tired, and none of us behaves the same when we are tired. And none of us have ever lived in a world full of so many people who are tired.

Many moons ago I met a chatter when I just join FCN in Adult chat Steelman I can't remember how we start to talk but he was a very levelheaded person who was always respectful and steady in his actions. I was very naive when I join and way to much of a softy but as time go you learn to have a thicker skin. Anyway Steelman oneday whisper me and say "Sweet learn to observe" I am not sure if it was good or bad advice. But I learn to observe and the things I notice and see .... I let it there. But this I know pay attention to detail its telling. Steelman have dissapear sadly one of the good ones. I hope he is well and happy.

Quietly Observe is great advice. You can learn a lot by what people do “like” and don’t.

I've always been impressed by how level headed you are. That and how such a wise head sits on shoulders so young in comparison to myself. Never change please. This place needs people like you so much.

Taking the time to read back on some peoples thoughts I realise I’m not so alone in this feeling of change around here.

missing some good folks.

I've been on the forums on and off for a little over 2 years now. It is ever apparent some people are addicted to drama on here. Obviously I'm not just coming to this realization, it's just a shame there are some here (and in life) who aren't happy unless they are causing or involved in some sort of drama.

It's a possibility I may be meeting someone (from FCN) who I've been talking to for almost three years now. And ya know... there is no one else I'd rather meet. Can't wait to see em in real life, and not just through a computer screen. Keep loving, yall!

I went to post a multi-paragraph screed about something going on in my personal life and how it related to something on this site. Then I thought to myself, "Look, nobody cares about any of this and neither should you. You spent way too much time drafting this up. Move on."

What is the actual moral of the story here? Life is too short to waste your energy on petty matters, and I mean that in the most encouraging way possible.

Get used to it. I still do it

That is the best kind of love when you find somebody in the most unconventional of places. I wish nothing but the best for you and truly hope everything works out because it is amazing!
