Thanks everyone for your kind messgaes. I probably should have shared a bit about myself in my initial post. But here goes, you can call me Rose, or Desert Rose, whichever you like. I'm single, in my early 30s. In my spare time, I like to read, watch movies, and go to the gym.
As you might guess from my display name, I grew up in a culturally conservative environment (English is not my first language) but from a very young age, I have always been curious about the wider world and different cultures. I'd like to think that I am a fairly open-minded individual who is still trying to figure out life.

 

Hey Rose! Welcome to HF, glad to have you here!

 

Well you very welcome! I try! Hope your experience so far is proving worthy!! ;-)

 

Rose, thank you for sharing your heart! We are all still trying to figure out life which is always changing. Just stay YOU! ;-)

 

Oh Rose… it’s a wide, wide world out there and I’m confident you’ll discover the beauty of the different cultures. Don’t let others choose your path, YOU choose your way… maybe it’s going to be the road less traveled.

 

Thank you Ybcican. Your message really made my day. It's exactly what I needed to hear. And yes, although I try not to think about it this way too often (as it tends to make me feel a bit isolated), sometimes it does feel like I'm heading further towards the road less traveled.

 

Thank you, 6Sailor9. I truly appreciate your kindness and encouragmemt.
