My Apologies

My apologies to all of you whom I have intentionally and unintentionally offended.
My apologies to all who have ties with me whom I have currently suspended.
My apologies to all of you who can't understand what I'm going through
regarding my choice of an alternative lifestyle. A life of total solitude.
A lifestyle whereupon the only greatest loss I'll ever have to suffer
will be when only my own life ceases to continue.

It is nice to apologize, Bill, but it is sad to choose solitude, because the whole world should be a family, like if you hurt, I hurt or if you rejoice, I rejoice and vice versa. This is what I try to teach my children. Life truly ends when we stop loving. Best wishes, Caroline.

At times, I also seek solitude, to cut myself off from the world, and go within, perhaps that is the writer in me. At times, I just do not want to be bothered with peoples expectations and rules. Leave me alone my soul screams... but then.. the sun comes out and everything is alright.. wait for the sun, dear william, do not give up.. on this life.. your poem is honest and heartfelt.. find your strength.. and william there is nothing wrong with a solitary life.. if that is your choice..

Bill, I am hoping that I read this wrong! I am one of those who can't understand what you're going through because I have never met you before. However, I feel you are my brother regardless of your lifestyle. This holy season we celebrate the birth of Eternal Love-He came to show us how to live-as brothers. No one is better than you in any way.S o please choose life.Momemt by Moment life changes-no situation is forever.Fight to live, thrive, believe. Peace and love to you Thanks for comment

Hey, you stay true to yourself no matter what anyone thinks, that's what's most important! No one should judge others when they are just being themselves, we should love everyone unconditionally! If we're not hurting ourselves or anyone else than...That's my two cents and I'm sticking to it. Thanks for sharing Bill. Love Light Patty
