I don't have my kids until tomorrow when we celebrate our little Christmas. It's a routine I've gotten used to after four years. And while I am on my own today, I'm not alone. I have my friends. And they may not be close by but they are close to my heart as we message today.
I am thankful that this and other r4r subreddits exists. And I want to thank all the real people that come here with honest intentions. Whether you post or respond or just lurk. Whether we've exchanged words or never spoken. Whether you want sex or love or anything in between. I appreciate you and why you are here.
Human connection. That's all we want. And it can come in many forms while being as short or long as we need.
These type of subreddits are beautiful in concept- though perhaps not always in reality. But the idea that I can put my thoughts and feelings and desires and pain and horniness and honesty out there and instantaneously anyone in the world can find and read these words... well that's just romantic as all hell. It's a message in the bottle thrown in the ocean, except it's there to be found by absolutely anyone who cares to look within this sea of humanity at any given time.
So thank you again, 40plus. I do hope you are doing okay today. I promise you this place can be worth a damn if you put yourself out there. Case in point, every friend I've spoken with in the last day, I met on reddit. Some were more than friends for a time. Some still are in a way. And some are ones I don't know much anymore but I'm still grateful for. Either way, it's been worth it.
Cheers.
