Some background, about the name
Hey all,
This probably should have been the beginning of the blog, but as some of you know you, I'm not necessarily the most organized person. 😊 I've been coming to CB a long time, years in fact. I started out, as many of you, for one reason. Anonymous at first, then as a registered viewer, I began to chat (yes i know , now i never shut up!) As time passed I grew to find friends there, and slowly, you gave me the courage to broadcast. A loose knit group of people developed, bouncing around from each others rooms. We became an extended family. A support group. A place to go to share the good times, and bad.
Spring of 2017, we lost a member of our family. Behrinthewoods passed away suddenly. Some of you knew Behr very well. Some newer members of our "gang' never had the privilege of meeting him online. I wish I had gotten to know him better. We lived in the same state, we shared a lot of the same upbringings. I wish I had had the courage to reach out to him, to suggest meeting in person. I like to think we could've been friends. I don't know a lot about his life. He always seemed so happy. It was always uplifting being in his room. I suspect things were not always rosy in his life,,, it rarely is, in any ones.
Behrs death made me take a look at my life. The fear of stepping out of my comfort zone, of meeting people in general. Hiding behind a computer screen. Rural Pennsylvania is not exactly the gay mecca of the USA. Growing up here at times was a living hell. Fortunately things have gotten better, but old habits die hard. I realized I could spend the rest of my life this way, or I could learn a lesson from his death. I decided I wanted to try to change things, to reach out and be more a part of life. To not be afraid.
The get together in June is a part of that change. I want to give people in our "gang' a chance to meet in person, to strengthen those bonds of friendship we have made on CB. I want to bring together our family - for that is what you are to me. You have supported me over the years, and literally have saved my life, and sanity.
I named the blog Behrinthewoodstock as a tribute to him, and to continue to remind myself to live life to the fullest.
