After reading Catherines' blog I thought I might say a few words, And they are ...
Thank you all you wonderful authors (did want this bigger & bold but I don't know how)
You guys n girls are my support and escape from a life I really don't enjoy.(relax, stop dialling 999, I'm not gonna do something stupid)
Samantha isn't my legal name(but it's who I really am(I was given it by my mum, Although she doesn't know it, Shall I tell this story ???? Why not.))Sorry I tend to ramble at times.
When I was a teenager (and still trying to pretend I was normal) I dated a pregnant girl, While we were dating she had a beautiful baby girl, Who the mum decided to call Samantha Jayne, When I told my mum she says to me "That was what we were going to call you if you'd been born a girl". And thus Samantha Jane (no y) was born and it's how I've thought of myself ever since.
Now unlike Cathy (and all you other brave souls) I can't ever see myself transitioning, I'm to tall(6'3"), To heavy(300pds), Got to many scar's And quite frankly, I haven't got to bottle. There are other things as well, But thats another story.
All of this gets me down, So I open BCTS and lose myself in your wonderful stories, You guys N Girls are my life support when I've had a crumby day.
So all I ask is this: Please keep it up and never stop.
Luv n Hugs
Sam

All I can ask is that people
All I can ask is that people read my stories and carry something away, hopefully something to help heal or at least pass the time.

I won't promise
to never stop, but as long as a reasonable number of people seem to enjoy the dribble I post on here, and our wonderful Webmistress permits, I shall certainly keep writing for a bit longer.
I'm glad you get something out of the stories we write but sad that you feel stuck in a less than happy situation.
hugs,

I find the stories here buck me up when I am down as does my occasional writing and posting. I believe I have cheered up a few people over the years with my own sillyness and I know many here have made my days happier or more thoughtful though their stories.

I have always loved the name Samantha too.
It's hard, amid the toils that life can be, to remember that it's the stuff that's
in your heart that's the most important. I think this is especially true when life
is mostly about things that are out of your control and unfair. It's still the heart
of the person that counts. I suspect that in that department, you are doing
much better than most.
You, take care, Samantha.
Love,

I can't promise to never stop either, but as long as people like you continue to enjoy my postings, and I feel I have something to share, and of course Erin is willing to keep this wonderful space open, I will keep on doing so.
I am somewhat like you in that I will never transition. For me it is probably the right thing, I am relatively content with my life, though there is a part of me that is very sad that I will never really be able to be Kristine.
I take my joy where I find it. Family, friends, and my other hobbies all help.
Hoping that you too, can find happiness and contentment.
Hugs,
Kristy
An amazing place
Stumbling across BC was a very serendipitous event in my life; it was one of those "A-hah!" moments in that I realized there's a community out there that I belong to that I never knew existed.
It's been a second home, almost an addiction at times, a place where I can go when I just need to take a break, to slip away for a while. I appreciate all of the contributions that everyone makes, especially Erin for keeping it up and running.
Happiness and success are neither necessarily contemporaneous nor connected.
