I have always been one to seek guidence in many ways, I'm pretty open to ask questions and share opinions, going back to the origional post I do think that saomewhere along the line we all seek some sort of social support, we either seek or come across an acceptance that we are not alone within our beliefs and practices and I think that is important. Its a step towards accepting self that is usually around the begining but could happen at any time.
I have been lucky in some ways and come across the 'right' people for me but I have found that sometimes the line between guide and lover can get blurry. A guide in life generally would be an amazing thing I think, I have yet to find one but if you have that one person your lucky I think. I tend to learn bits and pieces from different people.
