I never thought I would ever get addicted to the internet, in my mind it was a phase and that I would just grow out of it over time. Well here it is 9 years, 2 Bama Blasts and a lot of struggles later; I'm still kicking and around. This site has been such a wonderful beacon in my life personally; not only has it made me see that love extends boundaries beyond that of distance, time and even cyber space. They always say home is where the heart is, well in that case I am home.
USM has been there for me through the most trying times in my life; from being out of work to the point of needing help in my own life. I am one of those the USM fund actually helped more than anyone will ever know. So many here have inspired me in many ways. I have made many connections here over the years; connections that are still there and some that faded away with time. I am happy that all the connections made in Bama are always there and are more like family. Gail, Amanada, Donna(Ms.Priss(ROOMIE>, George and Ginger, Megan and Sean, GEF, and more. All of these people are now of the few I call very close friends; even family. I can't wait for 2011 to get here already, so much so that I may plan a trip to Bama in 2010 to meet and greet them all once more. Megan(Irish Raven) and I started as friends way back in chat, I was so happy to finally meet her in person. I have seen so much around this site and how many have grown. The site itself has grown in many ways, so much so that many can interact and not even realize how different they actually are.
It has been a great time to help the members of USM in the same way many have helped me over the years. USM is not only a place to post, read and comment; it is a safe haven for many to come and be themselves. With meit was a place I could develop and improve abilities I hid for a long time from the world. Not saying I'm the most accurate at ehat I do, but usually am very close to it. I have been given the chance to develop my psychic abilities here, and am not afraid to use my wiccan name of Shadow Master. Yes it sounds like a very dark name, but over time I have been able to not only see the Shadows, but also read them in a way. I also had social phobia to the point I would never go anywhere alone, would you believe I was scared to even go to Bama this last time, as I was by myself; if it weren't for the friends I had there I probably would never have went.
If you ever need anyone to talk to about anything, then this site will help you all. You may even contact me, I'm US-Admin, but mostly i'm a member.
USM is more then a site, it's a living heart of life on the internet.
