Very profound.

I've had a lot of the same thoughts myself in the last couple of years that I've been part of the community here. I'm in my late 30's and as you mentioned I spent a large amount of my younger years feeling that I was the only one in the world that had the same attractions and feelings. One must realize that now there is a large amount of younger posters who have grown up with the internet and will not spend a large majority of their life up until now feeling they are alone. I will have to say that this gives us older folks a different perspective on our experiences over those who are younger. I don't think this is a bad thing in concept as I would have much rather have spent those years as I am now. Still, the lack of experience in the younger portion of our community creates an "experience gap" where I think it is hard for younger persons to realize just what it's like to "be alone" as we have been. My experiences prior to the internet were basically knowing that I did not fit the typical profile the general public still wishes to impose on us. I knew I was above that morally and I believe that was the largest part of being able to make it through. Nice post and thanks for making it. FB Drive like hell; you'll get there.
