It has taken me a while to trust here. I started joining groups and my friends grew. Several have turned into friendships that I believe will be life long. I have many that are online supportive friends. The staff at eons has been helpful and caring, and I am so glad I stayed here.
I now belong to many groups and moderator several, and manage two of those groups. I know eons has it's issues at times, but it is the best social site I have found and my friends are so special. I live in a very rural area, so most of socializing is done via the net. I now have friends from eons I call and talk to, and they are real. The are not just a screenname that seemingly cares about you one day, but disappears the next. I love my groups and I am proud of them all.
I went for months without really doing a profile and then someone, and to this day I do not know who, nominated me for the "snazz your profile" contest. I knew virtually nothing about graphics/links/videos ect. when I came to eons. I decided if someone took the time to nominate me I would do my best to make my profile one that reflected me, and I hope to whoever nominated me I did a good job and they were proud. I did not win, but that is okay. I was proud and my profile reflected me, and my personality and values and passions. I had help from the HTML group and friends. I would especially like to than mistyblue57 who has taught me so much and who has become like a sister. I was nervous at first after my last experience of letting the members of the other site really know me and getting hurt by sharing me, and not just a screenname. I took a risk and put myself out there again. I am glad I did now. I hope all that visit my page find it a calming and serene place to be, and leave feeling they know me better. I now always go to others profiles to try to get know other members too. It really is a reflection of who I am and who you are. I do know with the net one needs to be safe, yet, it is also important to me to share who I am with others. I am still far from perfect at graphics, but I sure am proud of what I have learned.
I just wanted to take the time to thank all my friends for being my friends, and to thank eons for creating a place where we can all be to share, laugh, cry, reflect, learn, and be there for each other in a way that has grown to mean so much to me. I am saying Happy Eons Anniversary to me. I am so glad you all are a part of my life! Blessings to all as your the best!
This is a addition, as this day is coming to a close, thanks to all who replied and here is a video, that describes friendship for me. It is done by Phil Collins, and is called you will be in my heart, with friendship graphics. Blessings.
