29. Yes, they do. I never even thought of myself that way until

Apr 2013

I met you and yardwork and Boston bean. And on and on, as the issues kept hitting us. Funny, but we had all had political disagreements, sometimes cyber knockdown drag-outs. Then we found ourselves protecting the very person we had argued with in the past.

Just so you all know, it's not that I didn't like the label of feminist. It's that I've been a loner my entire life. And there's a part of my story of being raped that impacted my relationships with other women. I had just accepted that female friendships wouldn't be a part of my life. Until DU.

Cyber friendships aren't exactly the same, but it's a start. I miss yardwork.
