Ahhh Larry,

I am one of the older guys here at pixies, I am 52 in September.
For myself I do not feel it is a place just for the younger ones. There is a place for everyone. I know that many of Pixies folk get some good insights into things from your posts. I have always read what you post with interest and I respect and admire you.

I reckon you have the ability to change still, just being here has helped me evolve so much, I put a lot of myself up front here, my childhood problems, rape, suicide attempt, therapy, the long and draining internet love affair that came to nothing. Recently my trip and meeting the woman I am now in love with and entering a partnership the we expect to last for the rest of our lives.

We can all learn and change at any age.

You are a worthwhile and lovable man. Keep telling yourself that.

I hope you can drop in from time to time and say hi as you resolve your issues. Pixies will not change your life, only you can do that, but it will give you the comfort and support of good people from all over the world. Special people with good hearts and open minds.

I consider you a good and decent man and would love you to stay. I won't say goodbye but till we meet again

Take care

Ian
