• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I'm trapped! I can't leave the room! They're out there, I can hear them. Someone comes past from time to time, opens and closes the door to check on me. I could get out the window, just wait until next time they've checked on me, then make a break. No, that won't work, there are more outside. They're everywhere! The people outside are probably worse, because I don't know who they are, or what they'll do. At least I can rely on the people inside to just check on me, to bring food and drink from time to time, and not to do anything else. Maybe tomorrow I can get out, maybe tomorrow I'll get out of this room.


My wife and friends are out there, I can hear them laughing and having fun. I wish I could join them, but I just can't do it. The neighbours are outside, I better stay away from the window. I don't know them, they don't know me. They don't know my struggle. At least my wife and friends know what's wrong even if they can't understand. My wife looks in on me now and then to see how I am, she brings me some food at meal times. Hopefully tomorrow I can face people, then I can leave my room. I won't need to hide from my friends, from the people who care about me. Maybe tomorrow my depression won't weigh on me so.



I wrote this yesterday, after having a bad day on Sunday. Don't know if it's any good, but I thought I'd share it anyway. Let me know what you think.

It made my heart beat fast,like a nervous reaction. Stephen King does this to people.:eek: When you write from where you are in your head,it is going to come across rushed but at the same time..its very human and readers responses tend to back off or join in your nervous thoughts. Reminded me of myself when im trying to work on the net and my wife has people in and out.LOL Is this your first attempt at writing about yourself and your thoughts..or are you going towards a different direction like suspense.Give me more.
