this shattered my heart in more ways and places than I knew possible

Well, I for one am extremely grateful for this site. It is a testament to our community. —ALL HAIL STARTRITE!❤️❤️❤️
Ps I hope I spelled that right🙃
I think for me having the two months heads up before it actually closed, made it more difficult to accept it. it’s like when you’re at the threshold of learning how to let go with someone you love who is on their deathbed the stress and heartaches surrounded with that. When it finally does happen, it’s almost like a breath. I don’t know how else to explain it. It just didn’t seem real until it was.

You make a lot of sense, Zazzles, and I completely agree with you. Thank you StarsRite! And to all DU’ers who found their way here ❤️
Lets rebuild 🙂
I thought I had more time, too. I was writing my goodbyes to someone, and then it was all gone.
Yeah, I mean, the last time I checked it said two hours and 17 minutes. i’ve been on the site nonstop since I heard the closing was really happening.
💕
A sad day for poets and poetry everywhere…
Yes it is. I’m truly grateful though for you Adria and Fia ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Jackie…
Yes…
The power went out before expected…
I thought an hourglass was universal..?
I mean…
Ok…
The clock was based on UK time..?
I was there when the flip switched…
I was reading and commenting until
the end…
Haven’t slept in a bit…
Twas quite an ordeal…

My brother, so good to see you here!!!!❤️❤️❤️ I just, I can’t say it enough. It really didn’t feel real until it was. It is what it is, but you know what, a good part of that heartbeat is living right here in this new site.❤️❤️❤️
Nice tribute. Thanks for posting.
Thank you nice to see you here vision☺️
I went to do a final lap and it was all gone.. it hurts but in the most beautifully tragic way. I’ve done a lot of growing as a writer on DUP. Made lots of connections and friendships there.
It will always hold a special place in my heart.
Beautiful tribute, Zazz💞 xx

I mean, the good news is a lot of us from there came here and I’m grateful for that, truly grateful. What we had on the underground was rare, unique, and special. ❤️
Nice to see you Poetic Gawdess ❤️
It went down a hour before the timer told me it would. I wanted to be there when it went dark but when I was able to take a break from work to log in…💔
Hi Willow, yeah it was shocking I thought I had you know at least two hours left, but I did what I could to get out the goodbyes and I think I got it done for the most part. I’m glad you’re here.
Jackie ❤️☺️
I thought I had two hours so when I logged back on I was sad to see it was gone. Wanted to save some of the final moments. Damn, this sucks.
I think we all felt that Nick. I will say that looking over my friends list here a lot of people almost everyone that I have associated with and a few i haven’t, which is always good, are all here☺️ so I’m happy about that
Jackie ❤️
