Diversity in numbers and still finding the ways we are alike and can connect is what makes us stronger as humans.

Excellent post! I agree 100% with your words! I have been writing on the internet for a long time and have been graced with the good fortune to meet a lot of my friends I made while here. Not all of them were who they claimed to be...

I use my own pic's and bare my soul to the world for all to see through my writings and web sites. Honesty is always the best medicine! This is my humble opinion.

I agree 100% Michael. I mean seriously, if you're a cool person - that's all I need to be impressed by. When someone has over the top experiences EVERY SINGLE DAY ...well they are taking their life stories off reality television LOL.. Peace my FanBox Bro!

Great post JoLynn. I'm glad you're also one of those "real" people. I'm the same way, and I can't stand people who are fake or try to misrepresent themselves...

Thank you Arlene - I can totally dig someone wanting to be careful or not use their name online for whatever reason - that's fine. But I've had some stories told to me on FanBox that are as hihgly unbelievable as Romy & Michelle claiming to have invented Post-It's like in "Romy and MIchelle's High School Reunion"...LOL

My Dear Friend JoLyn, one reason I love Fab Box is YOU. You have challenged me as a person and have made me think. You are kind and generous. I love that we can agree to disagree on some subjects and still find humor and common ground, Thank you for letting me be your friend.

@Pat - those are many of the reasons I am so happy we connected on FanBox. You are creative, witty and I think you are such a creative, heartfelt writer. Thank you for being my friend and most of all, thank you for being so darned REAL! I love wysiwyg people (what you see is what you get).!

Yes Ryan, you're right. I resolved starting tonight to comment more on the posts I visit and hereafter - I've been terrible about leaving love for the posts I dig and it's time to let the kudos fly!

JoLynn so true!! I got the same way a while back and took a lot of people off my friends list besides the ones I actually felt were honest with me. I don't care if your picture is real or fake what your real name is just don't lie to me is all I ask :-)

@Jenny Lee - so true and succinctly put!

Very good post JoLynn...appreciate your honesty as well as your acceptance of friends for who they are, not necessarily because of what they believe in and respecting others' beliefs. Having a diversity of friends gives you different ways of looking at things. Have an excellent day! :-)

I love real people cuz thats all i am is real with people. like michael said i pour my heart and soul out in my writing for a way of people to get to know me. If they like what they see then cool if no then move the hell on lol but all you will ever get is 100% of me and not some cheap fake version of me.

@Jan K - thanks so much for your comment - I LOVE diversity in people. Who wants to hang out with 100 clones of themselves? I want a friend that will get in my face with a smile on any topic and say, "Well THIS is what I think!" I love hearing other people's opinions, thoughts, experiences -it's truly inspiring!
