"Don't wanna be nobody's hero; be who you are, be who you are..." Stiff Little Fingers

Thank you for your 'kindness' too, for sharing, and in a delightful way, that HAS been well received and welcome by many. Hasn't it? You're a popular one here. If the hyperromantics lose heart and stop breathing in humane compassion, and thought-provoking discourse, others keep the show on the road. Your breadth of world knowledge is a fortune, the value of which you may not realise. So when the spirit moves, in your own time, see if you want to continue helping us see stars in a blue sky, because you can do this. Like Caetano, exiled I presume for bravely publicising the truth about the then Brazilian government.

I would be amazed if you haven't already experienced soaring dramas close to "Damage" (careful!) or "Thomas est amoureux", and hope you find your match in the excitement, depths and tenderness you exude.

People have busy lives, as you might find shortly again yourself, yet there's some wonderful creativity and imagination and passion flowing around here, buoying up the flotsum and jetsum, and in all, a representative cross-section of fans.
