Okay, it’s now officially been one year since I joined the MGTOW community (or a bit over, give or take) and unfortunately, I did not come to this community out of a calculated decision, but rather an awful heartbreak after a girl completely tarnished my reputation, lost me all my friends and cheated with someone who previously made my life hell. I came here not expecting to stay long but I was surprised, the attention and support I have been given is out of this world. Each and every one of you are strong, independent and extremely kind and empathetic individuals who I’ve come to care about very much. I went from being lonely and bored because I had more time than I knew what to do with, to enjoying my time and life as a whole, I’ve learned to reconnect with myself and achieve many things I never thought I could. I would like to thank you all for the way you all welcomed me and motivated me and kept pushing me along to get me to where I am today, I am truly so proud of this community, it’s more than just the ‘women-hating misogynists’ we’re all portrayed as by the outsiders. I feel I’ve found peace and equilibrium in my life. I’m not sad, depressed or eccentric and overly happy. I’m just at peace, which is better than all the happiness their is (in my opinion). So once again I’d like to thank you all on aiding me in my first year and assisting me in the first step of my long journey. I hope this is reassuring to any new members that are wondering if they’ve made the right decision. (If you’ve got the patience to read this far that is!) Thank you for all your time and support, Carry on.
