SH H.

There aren't many things I can honestly say have changed my life but EP is one of them.
I'm such a private person. I've never felt like anyone truly knows me but the cloak of anonymity I was lent by EP allowed me to share my true self.
To my surprise, a whole lot of people like who I am.
Yes, of course bad things occasionally happen (don't they everywhere online?) but the amount of trolls and bullies has been grossly exaggerated by other reviewers.
I usually find for every one mean-spirited remark, at least three or four positive, supportive ones.
Some people even make it their goal to drive the bullies away, like guardians of those less able to defend themselves.
And the friendships I've made are real. Whether they'll outlast my time on the site I don't know and don't even think it's particularly relevant.
Logging on to EP feels like taking off a suit of armour and showing the world my heart.
I've learned a lot about myself and others.
If you're anything at all like me, I suggest you ignore the moaners and give it a try.
It might just change your life too.
