This reminds me of the Latin phrase “Dum spiro, spero”: while I breathe, I hope. It’s sad but it’s not hopeless, and I love that.

No matter what I still hope. Beautiful.

Nope. Haven’t tried. Life has a way of derailing me. Thanks. I try to vary how I write and what I write about.

I love your writing style. I could not help but laugh at some parts and nod my head in agreement at other parts. Nicely done.

I live me a good storm. You took us through the darkened skies into the aftermath of gentle rain with this beautiful piece. Big smiles here

Oh how a storm can sometimes so accurately mirror our feelings. You can feel it here.

Lovely to read your voice again. I can feel the wind and rain in this…

Beautiful work.

This isn’t seen in action though. A report was made by multiple people. Yet it remains.

I am very judgmental and can live with that. But! To attack an individual’s character on the public media is a ‘no-no’. You have a very difficult job and I admire you for that.

Agree 100%, Fia. Appreciate you.

Thanks for saying what everyone should already know. There are plenty of other forums and topics elsewhere to do that crap. Not in a place of sensitivity and creative endeavors! We bear our souls here at times. Damper someone’s writing and it’s like a dagger to the heart! I even feel it when I post and see no comments – but bad comments crush some of us. I go through too much at times in my “offline” life. Sometimes, this is my reality! Thank you and everyone else for making this place safe.

You should publicly name any culprits who are doing harrassment etc.
Everyone should know so that they can avoid dealing with a problem person.
So call them out on it. Perhaps they would close their account and open a new one/New name, but at least make them feel the hassle.
I never understood why people would be jerks towards others, in a writing site.
I do not care for everything I read in any site, but its easy enough to just move on without bothering them.

It’s nice to have a safe place to express yourself. It is sad that you have to tell people to act right. It should be known.

I wasn’t aware this was happening. It’s something that seems to happen on all the sites I’ve been on. Thanks for being vigilant on the matter. It’s what makes a site a good one.
