Finding a site dedicated to what we are at our core is priceless.

It pleases me that you're still interested in my blog, enough to check it out and leave comments. <br /><br />And second, the subtitle I had before the new one wasn't "taking gay to the next level" (I think I used that a long time ago); rather, it was "Together, Elevating the Experience of Being Gay." And I suggested we got there "by understanding, accepting, and loving ourselves." <br /><br />I hate to think you might have thought you got there by comparing yourself to others, or that there was pressure to get there based on other gay people. That's not at all what I intended to say with my words, and I hope I haven't made things more difficult for you.<br /><br />But you raise a wonderful point. You write: "I don't need to take being gay to another level, I need to be one with myself." I couldn't have said it better myself. I hope the truth of your statement is somehow captured in the new subtitle.<br /><br />Thank you for your feedback and your insight. I really appreciate it.<br /><br />(And if you are ever so inclined, please send me a quick email to let me know how you're doing. I'd really like to hear from you again.)Rick Modienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157314737543591048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834596026525717264.post-56294962321446024102013-07-19T14:21:14.659-07:002013-07-19T14:21:14.659-07:00I like your new direction!

It makes me compare myself to others and this will result in me falling not getting higher on the long run. A great naturalist has said that one thing that a person needs to avoid is centering everything in one's life to a single characteristic. I don't need to take being gay to another level, I need to be one with myself. What being one with myself will be one thing for me and other thing for another person. Hence, comparing levels is quite hard and therefore getting to this ultimate level is in my opinion impossible.elevencatsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834596026525717264.post-55942563872579492632013-07-16T10:03:54.942-07:002013-07-16T10:03:54.942-07:00Thanks for your kindness, Topper.
