I'm so glad I came across this ....Hey Chelsea . I'm so glad I came across this . I am an Orphan . My dad died when I was 2 and my mom abandoned me and my grand parents adopted me . My mom passed away 4 years back ( I never had a proper relation with her ) and my grand parents passed away too. I am completely alone now. I used to think that I am 'normal' but after the love of my life left me I've had a chance to think about my life and issues and I know only another orphan like me would understand another . I'm trying to sort myself out so that I can have a chance of ever having a family and a dog . Wish me luck .<br /><br />- Mazel Mazelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714211102904544138.post-9300824555312223232013-04-10T21:17:52.598-07:002013-04-10T21:17:52.598-07:00Looks like this subject of life as an orphan is gr...Looks like this subject of life as an orphan is greatly overlooked. When you realize you are an orphan, people do not understand the relationship challenges that face us day to day. It becomes difficult to be loved by others because we have subjected our souls to self reliance. This is not a criticism of family folks on this board however, you cannot relate to the pain and struggle we face. Please maintain discipline on this post considering Chels' has a right to be angry. As do I. Encouragement will go further than advice. Thank you. Lied to for 37 years and discovering the truth is painful. I applaud your courage to speak out. Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714211102904544138.post-80181931975391785842012-01-28T10:28:08.549-08:002012-01-28T10:28:08.549-08:00I'm writing a counter-argument for abortion. O...I'm writing a counter-argument for abortion. One of the points made was that there were too many orphans already and abolishing abortion would do more harm than good. I completely disagree, of course; I believe every life (or the potential of life) is precious. Your list has helped me in the beginning stages of my research, so thank you. But I would also like to point out that I have a family. Not to irritate you, but to remind you that you are not the only kind of person that cares. I am sorry for the hurt you have experienced and for the life you have had to build around that absence. I am only reaching out to say that people who hold respect and love for people do not have to experience all the hurt in the world to empathize with it. People are people, regardless of circumstance. I don't know you and I hope you don't mistake this for judgment, but bitterness is not love. Even children with parents deserve the love and respect from others and you deserve to live a life free of the burden of cold-heartedness (why add to your load?). Life is not a respecter of persons. It is unfair to everyone. So thank you for your contribution, but I urge you to love people as a whole. They suck, but so do you, and because you deserve love, return it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714211102904544138.post-64237234604514739612011-11-09T07:48:31.950-08:002011-11-09T07:48:31.950-08:00Orphans put up with enough problems in their lives...Orphans put up with enough problems in their lives. I think they need to be tough and not deal with peoples crap. I wrote that comment a long time when someone told me something that just showed they didn't understand. I figured if someone with a family gets their feelings hurt they can just call up their parents and talk about it. But if an orphan gets hurt they don't have much to talk to. People with families don't need my help and most aren't willing to help orphans so they for the most part are not welcome here.Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13625529591756755950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714211102904544138.post-63110146057544732762011-11-08T21:00:23.471-08:002011-11-08T21:00:23.471-08:00I really enjoyed the post about famous orphans but...I really enjoyed the post about famous orphans but why would you only want to help only "others of your own kind"? There are people who would be better off had they been orphans, IMO. "If you do have a family, don't comment. Try kissing my ass instead." Why such a harsh line of thought? Can someone who is not an orphan just 'not understand' people who were? I think you could indeed help a lot of people who are coming to terms with their situation but don't you think that anger is counterproductive?Fyrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714211102904544138.post-4516917781964110892011-08-18T15:48:34.793-07:002011-08-18T15:48:34.793-07:00Fantastic list of Extraordinary SoulsFantastic list of Extraordinary SoulsStarshelterhttp://www.acrossthehorizon.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5714211102904544138.post-69287275767677461572011-04-26T23:37:06.447-07:002011-04-26T23:37:06.447-07:00It is awesome to see what people who have lost the...It is awesome to see what people who have lost the most important element of growing and attachment have become.
