I have to say thanks for opening me up to a whole new way to view the world. When we met, I was definitely more reserved and you were the more worldly one. Since then we have both moved on and I have been having the time of my life. This may sound like a bitch – it isn’t. This is a thank you. You helped me realize that my conservative life was not working and I am making changes. I wish you every happiness in your life, that you find great experiences every day. I will be forever grateful to you as I have a whole new perspective of my life and love it! You have given me such a generous gift. Being content is a wonderful place for me. —You Know Who It Is… You’re A Pretty Smart Person

OB “We both moved on”you said.Hmm,I wonder what your “Hoodrat”say to that?
Why,Did you decide she/he wasn’t good enough?This person didn’t “fit in” with your reserved, white collar, professional friends so, you dumped her ass?! Now, you have the audacity to thank her for the use of her ass.
I hope for her sake you treated her like a lady by opening doors,opening the car door and bought her a nice candle lit supper,at a good restaurant?
He/She doesn’t sound all that smart to me.The person allowed themselves to be used or was he/she aware of your plan to hump and dump?

Wow.

I am shocked that this post could be seen as anything but a nice one? Two people meet, one is thanking the other for helping them to find themselves and live a more authentic life. I don’t see the fact that they are no longer together as the focus of this at all.
What the heck is a hoodrat and why is it applicable to this? What makes it sound like a girl was dumped? Where is the bitterness here? I could as easily be a woman writing to a man (pretty gender non-specific).
Essentially I think the person is happy and is appreciative to the other for their influence on them.
Frig.
OP: Well done! Life is a journey and it rarely stays the same. Enjoy every bit.
I thought it was a girl who wrote this, gentlerain.
Very nice tho. No bitterness detected on the Captain’s radar
It’s called “projection”, gentlerain.
I thought it was a sweet Love.

PisP and Captain, I think it was genuinely nice. Probably a woman writing to a man as you said.
I hate to be a negative nelly or perceived as trolling but I find this behaviour to be exhausting to witness.
The empathy bone activates and you can’t avoid experiencing a portion of the negativity. It’s nigh impossible to avoid having some form of emotional response to this behavior… unless you’re a sociopath, then you’re fine…
“fine”
Fine like Lance Armstrong! lol 🙂
well he’s certainly not un-fine…
with a hoard of wealth 9 figures long.
I meant “fine” like a sociopath – in regards to Cap’n’s point. But sure that is some people’s cup of tea. There is someone for everyone!! haha
He’ll loose 95% in his upcoming civil lawsuits, I wonder how fine he’ll be then – in your sense of the word this time. He’ll still be a sociopath, just a poor one
i think this ‘love’ is genuine and sincere. this is what ‘should’ happen upon reflection, after a relationship ends. one should LEARN something from everyone you come in contact with. but esp from an intimate.
uh…. I’ll take 5% of $110 000 000 to take EPO’s and ride a bike all day… any day of the week. I’d even do it in a frilly dress.
It’s cool… he can chill with Clemens, Bond, McGuire, Sosa, Stallone, and a shit load of others who’ve were actually caught.

I never read all of this thread until now.
Yes I was in a negative head space the day I commented on this post.
Yes, being that neg. does become exhausting,very exhausting. I forget to be thankful for whom/what I do have in my life when stress becomes overwhelming.
