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.

Powerfully penned, Brenda. Another amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

Brenda this is quite beautiful.
The world talks about being different and individual but when you are they detest you.
Don’t bother about the world.Its a delusion mostly and is finite.
In the meantime, use your saphosexuality to seduce as many men as you like.
You’ve done it to me more than once with your writing….😜

We wear our life upon our looks. Some more obvious than others.
Chances are, we fall in love with someone after we have seen them physically and got beyond that, and into their psyche.
Confidence is the most attractive trait. Not arrogance or cockiness, but a quiet confidence that others will notice, and respect.
That is not looks. It’s a look within the eyes.
You’ll always be okay, if you believe in it.

Hoi hoi
The last two sentences are the cherry on the cake.
Could it be that there’s a portion of people who take/love you for what you are?
Don’t know if I’m right, but I love to think I am.
Yes, definitely.
Love your write…
Kind regards, Gus

I will never understand the obsession with “conventional” beauty. The models in magazines are airbrushed & one dimensional. You have depth, intelligence & spirit, Brenda. Those qualities glow, believe me 🧡

any fools with eyes can see the surface. but it’s the ones who actually look and can see its the weight you carried before that makes you unforgettable. excellent write.

hello dearest Thomas I feel this one deeply I used to climb a tree and dream this is beautiful here is a song making me happy tonight 💕

Beautifully penned, Thomas. Top notch write my friend. Appreciate you.

Imagination is the absolute treasure! The places we can go, the journeys words take us on…priceless!

What a lovely story! Without imagination, we’re truly lost…

I love childhood tales–things we did when we were innocent. You reminded me that I had a box, too, though mine contained arrowheads and pretty rocks that I’d found.

Excellent. Thank you.
