Girls that have gone missing 2

Tags : None
  • Reading back, on the questions for men and TA's & other threads, sad to see so many real nice girls and men that no longer appear here.

    Steffie Clarke, Dedelyn Smith. Jayne Scots. Karen Janeway. Joanna Blue. Michelle Roberts. Kelly Rock. Paul Wardropper.

    and I know Julia Sands said she was leaving because of an ill thought out remark, I would realy like to see her back, even if she has such a hectic real life, Julia, stick your face in now and again if you read this. xxXxx

    Anyone else I missed?

  • Cristine,

    I have been a "visitor" on and off here over 6 years or so.

    Good 'ol TW and the many girls here have heard me go through alcohol rehab, quitting smoking, beginning 'mones, dealing with coming out and God knows what else. (if I remember a bet correctly, Mere still owes me a White Sox game from about 5 years ago...).

    Anyway, whenever I come back, I feel like it's been forever, but I keep coming back.

    While I am not acquainted with all of the names you've mentioned, I can say this: they remember TW/GS, all the great girls here, and you.

    Some will come back. Some won't. All are richer for having been a part of this community, and they have enriched our lives as well.

    It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance!

    To the folks I remember most: Karen. Mere, Katie and everyone else who were so warm and helpful in my first days online here:
    "Thank You." It's a privilege to know you all. I hope that someday I can be as helpful to you as you all have been to me.

    Yours,

    Karri

  • It is very difficult. I often wonder how friends who I have lost touch with are getting on with their lives. I have learnt to accept that people find interests that replace socialising on this site and drift off into new social circles.

    Some of the people I miss...

    Samantha Smith, Justine Cairns, Lucy Dawlish, Lynn Grant, Karen Janeway, Robyn Web, Kay Murray, Bill Powers, Deana (Cant remember last name as it was a year or so a go and she talked about televisions a lot.)
    There are more.

    Just an ordinary girl finding her way in this strange life. - What will it take to get everyone to realise that everyone else is also a human being that deserves just as much respect? - How does someone tell their doctor they have hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia? - When I was a student I specialised in Alcopology. It always starts with Alco and always ends with pology. - Waiter! There's a hare in my rabbit pie!

    So many have stopped coming I can't evan begin to name them all. I worry very much about some of them.
    The girls that get thier feelings hurt over something & go with a heavy heart are the ones I want to find & hug & tell them to come back.
    Then there are those that just stop coming from one day to the next, that never let on anything was wrong.

  • The reality is that people's lives change and they have different priorities or it's just time to move on. I'm actually amazed I'm still here as I usually don't stay around one place for too long, lol.

    A lot of my old friends that I met in the chatroom regularly have since left and it hasn't been the same in there for me without them, but I am in regular contact with many of them through other means, and they are all fine and well, and in several cases are now post op.

    It's natural for us to have concerns for those girls we don't see anymore, but just because someone has moved on, it doesn't mean it's necessarily for the worst. I know first hand that some of the girls mentioned so far are definately still around, just not on here any longer.

  • I think Karri stated the issue very well. Girls come and go and will pop back in from time to time. Anyone who stays here long enough to meet others and use the support features this site offers will likely never forget TW/GS. Best of all was Karri's line "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance!"

    The thing is you can't forget this is a social networking site, one of many, and people use those sites to fill voids in their lives hoping to find something or someone to bring into their life. Voids change over time and the TG community is no exception. Simply by reading profiles you will see gals have had TG tendencies off and on throughout their lives. That is probably a larger factor for TV/CD participation, but TS's also have their pursuits that often lead them to a life outside of the community and for others like myself, some stay to support or be activists for the community.

    I first came to TW in October 2006 as an emotional wreck and found some incredibly supportive people here. I now maintain contact with several of them outside of TW/GS. But what caught me by surprise is exactly what is being discussed here. By early March 2007, the chat rooms that had seemed to always be filled were now empty, save a few. We continue to ask why as if there is a single answer, or as if there is something or someone to blame. The reality is there is a whole wide world out there.

    Hugs,
    Marsha
