Well how about I tell you why you're important to me: I don't know anyone with as much of a spiritual and positively open approach to life as you have. I used to be really spiritual and postive but my somewhere along the way heart has hardened with age. I'm trying to get back to where I was so reading your journal is inspirational and reminds me of my goal :)

I'm pretty new here, so I feel shy to comment. I do feel a connection to you (or at least a desire for connection) and joy when I see posts from you (and so joyous they have been lately), but I've read your journal a lot longer than you've read mine, so I have little idea how you feel. I would love to know. :)

I've finally tried to pull some of the pieces of my thoughts into a post about this. I'm so glad you wrote about it.
But I agree; I consider many people on my flist to be part of my tribe in some way. Perhaps because there generally seems to be a piece of someone's soul in their entries, even when I don't know how to say anything back.

I know you don't know me very well, but i'll comment anyhoo :)

wow, that user icon is so cute!

Bel, my belle...I'm awfully quiet here, I know. But I read every post you make. Cheers, luv.

Splat!

don't vote me off the island! :)

I'd like to know, but since I'm kinda new..

To me, and comparing your to an actual tribe, you are the shaman/guru to me!

I'm curious! ;)

I actually had a dream about you last night! We were hanging out together--in a big house full of people, I'm not sure *where* it was supposed to be--and it started out pretty fun. We were talking and giggling and at one point you started affectionately nibbling my shoulder, lol *blush*

As my dreams usually do, though, it ended up being scary and ominous at the end. Heh. It was some kind of apocalyptic scenario and the last thing that happened before I woke up was the sun exploding, and turning into a huge rock that fell to the earth and was rolling around crushing people.

I have no idea what that was supposed to mean. I have lots of odd dreams like that though, haha. :P

You're important to me, though, and I'm always thrilled when I see a post from you on my friends page. :)

Well, though I don't express myself, as much, the way you do on your posts, I believe we have a very similar view on relationships and basically loving people because of their souls, without regard to gender. You truly love people and find them an endless source of love and happiness, as do I. You are an inspiration to me to be more expressive of my love for others, and to unabashedly express what I believe in. I can only hope that one day I will be as truly honest with myself, and others, as you are.

Well, why not? ^^

I just wanted to say that I think you are the most positive, sunshiny, bright person, even when you're down. Your posts are always beautiful and good for the soul.

I gave in and am commenting. I usually feel guilty doing things like this, I don't know why, but I feel like I'm not allowed to ask what I mean to people or what they think about me. hah. BUT you have helped me learn a great deal about the importance of self love and openness and love for others. sooo. *nodnod*

You managed to put into words exactly how I feel :)
