These boards belong to us. They're ours. I'm not the first to express this. I hope I won't be the last. Either way, tonight, March 10, 2008 I stake our claim to these boards. (Inserts flagpole into virtual ground)
WE are the ones who breathe life into these boards.
WE make them what they are by expressing ourselves.
WE do this by
-asking for information, support, opinions, advice, resources, etc.
-offering information, support, opinions, advice, resources, etc.
-forming relationships with each other
-talking about ourselves, our lives, our loves, our fears, our needs, our dreams, our thoughts, our beliefs, our humanity
-"listening" to others' talking about themselves, their lives, loves, fears, needs, dreams, thoughts, beliefs, humanity
-coming together so that one can feel a little less alone
-laughing, crying, smiling, empathizing, supporting, chatting, grieving, cheering, questioning and being together
-standing up for each other
-checking in on each other
-doing what we can to make this feel safe for all
-taking what we need and leaving what we can...And so much more.
This is OUR community. These are OUR boards.
