Vic, isn't this the truth of life?  I think often in life we're afraid to say yes because we think somehow that we don't deserve to feel as good as we do.

The answer is really much more simple than everything we unnecessarily heap on top of it --- yeah, we do.  We really do.

For everyone:  :-*

who says a film can't change lives?  ;D

How has brokeback changed my life? I've met some wonderful friends, learned a lot from all of you guys, and hope I've grown from that.

I understand my life is good, yes it is, and I should be more appreciative of that, and I've learnt that life is there for the taking. Grab it with both hands. And don't let go. Ride each wave, and be honest about and open to your feelings.

Great little sentence, and so true.

Love to everyone,

As far as what has happened in my life after seeing the movie, I have not made any friends online because of the movie where we might even communicate outside of internet forums.

I have made a cyber-friend who has belonged to a BbM related Yahoo Group where I was just a member and we do IMs a lot.

When I was active on America Online in 1998 through 2001, I met some people online whom I talked to on the phone. Because I mentioned that I had a problem financially and asked for prayer from some Christian friends who were gay or accepted them in the fall of '98, I was surprised when some of them actually asked me to give them my mailing address so that they could send me some money. I was not getting HUD Section 8 rental assistance at the time and trying to pay for all of my rent out of my own pocket.

One of those ladies, Margaret, had lost her gay son who was also a Christian and we ended up sort of cyber-adopting each other. We actually talked on the phone a lot, she was in Missouri at the time and I called her my cyber-mom. I also relayed messages from her to my own mother and from Mom back to her.

I called Margaret's brother, "Uncle Ben." Ben was a WII veteran and I helped him get some help from the VA in 2001. I did not do it directly but, I did some research for him and he was able to get his Social Security supplemented by a non-service connected VA pension.
