MyLot is a Respite From Reality

I just used this phrase when responded to a post by @AmbiePam. It made me realize how true it is for me. There are some days when life is just not easy and when being able to come and interact with people who are so sympathetic and friendly is really a respite from reality. When I read post from my friends I often hear about issues that are making their lives difficult. It can be financial, family relationships, illness and much. Here on MyLot, we are accepting and offer a great support system to each other. What do you think, when you need a respite from reality do you come to your friends on MyLot?

@marlina Me too, it is nice to not have to think about chores for at least a few minutes.

And with me, I can survive the drama that reality presents in my life, when I'm on the site, I don't want to dwell on that. Nobody's life is always rosey, but we should be able to enjoy the better moments and share them with each other.

I found your comment interesting @Juliaacv as well as this post and it got me thinking about respite from life's struggles. Still I wonder is part of that drama or to think of the question in another way is drama part of reality or made up? - anyone?

@juliaacv It does make us think about other things and that is always helpful.

@Bluedoll I think that some people consider some of the drama that is written on here pure fiction. My friends on MyLot aren't overly dramatic so I think they are not making up drama to get attention. But having said that we have all faced struggles.

Yes. That is what I have been doing too. I am shy to talk about my problems personally. I'd rather write it down here where I remain anonymous for almost everyone here in mylot.

@mylovelenix Yes. I would love to make friends to everybody here. This site is made up of smart and friendly people. Many are helpful too. If you ask for something, for sure, there will be mylotters who will offer their genuine help especially when it comes to online earning sites.

I'm shy too and I like the fact that people that don't even know you want to be your friend here.

That's great. I'd like to know more about online earning sites since I am a stay at home mother. I came to this site for that same reason but I've realized that it goes beyond that, this site is also a stress reliever.

Thankfully I don't often have problems, most days are pretty much like the others, rather boring. But I do like my rut. And to answer your question, it's so darn nice here and the people are great,

While I agree with you that myLot could be a place to get away from it all for me it is a pleasant place to be. My real life is all sorted out so to say.

I agree. Our backgrounds and lives are all so different. It's interesting. It's nice to offer a sympatric shoulder for others, prayers, and get it in return.

I think that is one of the wonderful things, the prayers for people from many different faiths and belief it is prayer that we can share. I always appreciate praying and also receiving prayers.

I definitely come here to escape from the drudgery of real life but mostly I like to come for the interaction and friendship. I don't have any friends nearby so this is as close as I can get to having coffee and chatting with friends.
