Lost for Words

I've been away and have missed connecting with those whose blogs I enjoy keeping up with. Recently, I and other readers have noticed that many times there aren't many comments on their posts but I hope the authors  realize that so many people read and don't comment. I don't always comment but I definitely do enjoy their writing and willingness to share their stories and talents.

When I started blogging I got so much support when I wrote things that stimulated a response from gay readers. At some point some of my posts didn't create those responses. Being a gay man who is married to a straight woman, maybe they thought I wasn't gay enough to hold their interest. I realized I needed to write out my feelings whatever the response was. Eventually I got my feelings and story out of its dark hiding place and out where it might help others. Lately I haven't posted not knowing what to say now that I'm beyond that point.

I have continued to follow my old blogger friends that supported me and I have searched out new blogs that I can relate to, 45th Parallel being one of those. Many of my favorites have stopped blogging for many reasons. It is a shame that some stopped due to their blogs being discovered  and being outed before they were really prepared for the resulting maelstrom.



For some fear, shame and despair got the best of them. For those of you who are writing your stories, keep writing, for yourself as well as all those people who need to hear your story, including me....Adon
