The Good Ones


I get a lot of crap slung my way by anonymous trolls who like to marinate in hate. Hate gets them off. Whatever, I’m not going to stop blogging. I love that blogging has given me a sense of community, when the idea of community seems impossible. I have moved from Connecticut to Boston to the Bay Area to Los Angeles and won’t be surprised if we head out East in the foreseeable future. My blog keeps me connected with IRL and blogging friends. Loves it. I am posting an excerpt of a comment I received today that made my heart smile.

Hey I've been reading your blog for a long time, even though I'm a 23 year old guy and don't necessarily have that much in common with you other than the fact we're both brown.I have to admit, I keep coming back because your blog is like a daily dose of faith in love, even for a guy. Your openness, honesty and faith in your relationship are refreshing in a world so overcome by cynicism, infidelity and selfishness. I have to say you seem like the perfect wife, and Hubby is a lucky man.
I won’t ever stop believing in the good in people, even if that makes this L.A. chick a naiveté country bumpkin. For every one troll I encounter, I meet that many more wonderful and kind-hearted people. Mad love for all of you, and yes even you my trolls.
