I have a question. Consider it a bit of a survey or questionnaire. I'm curious. I want to remain anonymous, so that people feel like they can safely remain anonymous, as well.

What does love mean to you here? What did it mean to you at home? Is it different for both?

Relationships are seemingly more complicated here than they would be at most of our homes. I was wondering if others felt the same.

How are you managing it here in a place where it does seem more complicated? Are you doing the same things you would have done if you were at home?

Thank you for your time.

of course that way of thinking is admirable at least and will gain you some points.

like whatever's going on, just remember that honesty is always the best at the end. it sucks when people can't be honest about even the smallest things, and even though it might be difficult you get a big payout at the end for the honesty. it's probably hypocritical for me to say that, but i'm getting better at the whole honesty thing myself with and without the moon shit.

Honesty's never been difficult for me before.[ he can say that again ] Though I guess the longer you hold back, the more likely you'll just be honest because that's the impulse you can't fight anymore with the moons. Not that I'm being dishonest, anyway, but you can't really feel fully like yourself when you know there's a push there that wasn't there when you were home.

oh i'm sure it hasn't to some degree because i could say the same thing. but there are levels of honesty, like it's easy to admit if you don' like someone or something openly and even say why. but there are also feelings and thoughts that we don't acknowledge within ourselves and that is where the problem with honesty lies.

i wonder if the push of the moons is different from things that would push us at home, because the way i see it both force you to face certain aspects of yourself that you'd rather not under normal circumstances.

Maybe it's similar to what you'd get, but I don't know if it's the same as whatever push you'd get a home. I think at home... I would not have possibly ended up making choices I have here. That simple. Nothing could have pushed me to where I am now or into anything I've done.

But here... It's different.
