Tessa- I agree with every word of your post.

I love this forum. Everyone's just so nice and sincere and friendly. Sometimes just being here causes my doubts to vanish.

And yes...you're definitely correct. We all have our preferences, and who's to judge another?

My life's calmed down for the most part. I'll probably take a break before actively pursuing a relationship again...but otherwise, I'm pretty much back to normal.

Thanks for the replies. They took care of any remaining doubts I had.
