ME, abridged!

For those who are just meeting me, and even those who have known me... A SUPER paraphrase of my profile! This will be my first REAL post to Steemit~ <3

I've personally spent decades online... since I was 12 years old in 1999 and first logged into MSN chat, I felt like I had discovered another world with completely different possibilities... I even created a role play character named Tydus Tarien to explore my fantasies and co-create quality experiences through the collective imaginations of other role players in different platforms! I was amazed with the ease of access to the wealth of information being shared, by so many people from everywhere imaginable... and the internet became as a secondary foundation, and alternative environment for my mental development during my early teens and even into adulthood.

I've learned so much over the years, and I have gone through a lot of personal discoveries and revolutions... and I have reached a point in my life where I finally understand some very important things about myself, and through reflection, I have come to also understand a lot of important things about the world, not just physically but psychologically... and not just socially, but even politically! I have delved into the questions that most perplexed me as I was aging, and through patience and persistence, and nearly endless support from friends and family, as well as the collective contributions made to the internet by humanity, for better or worse... I evolved into a completely unexpected type of personality, when I used to be convinced I was going to someday be rich and famous! Now, I don't want to be better than everyone, and I don't want to even be famous... I really just want to help those around me live better lives, more comfortably, with greater efficiency... because I truly believe that to be the only way for me to become more comfortable and have greater efficiency for myself! And thanks to the experiences I have shared with my awesome family, I really feel the connection to other people, even when we may not be related by blood!

I've made a lot of friends online, and shared a lot of really great times and even a lot of really dark times... but through all the ups and downs, I know we each grow into our unique character and become the result of the things we have learned and the choices we have made! Family is where we all start, of course, and because of the unconditional love I have received in my life, I understand what it means to value each other and to do our best to make every moment count... The love I have been given can now spread out into others! <3

I look forward to our future, and I look forward to the new experiences we can share together... I look forward to learning so much from all of you, and teaching so much to a few of you~! NAMASTE, reflections!
