They're very interesting, from the few that I've picked through so far.  Any feedback and discussion would be very awesome.

Well, last night my best friend (online) of seven years, told me that he was not a he, he was a she. All those years ago, she had lied.  I was amazed she could keep it up so long, absolutely shocked! It was difficult to grasp at first, but I'm not upset, it's strange. Should I be? I don't know. I'm actually somewhat relieved. This way, at least, I can have her by my side at my wedding, rather than having to put her on the other side with the groomsmen. She was very upset. begging me not to be upset. However, just sitting and contemplating it, no matter what aspect of our wonderful friendship I looked at, very little had changed. Actually, some things had improved. I could finally tell her about my illness I'm suffering from, which is highly feminine in nature. I think things will be better now that things are out in the open. :)

4. You can be as independent as you want, but it takes real bravery to ask someone to help you out of a muddy hole that's filling faster than you can dig.
