Sasha, darling, don't worry about those old friends who won't talk to you anymore... You have a whole bunch of new friends right here who love, admire and respect you, and probably more than the old ones ever did. Happy Independence Day.

Agree wholeheartedly. And thank God for the freedom to communicate widely through technology. ItтАЩs comforting and refreshing.

But there is this one thing: What we are missing now is friends we can be transparent with, in their own skins and in real time.

At least thatтАЩs true for me.

Once the old skins are shed & you no longer self censor youтАЩll find kindred spirits.
