Re: I'm sure that must have come as a shock...--Cheugon dear.............

it sure was one great blow of a shock...quite appallingly painful til now, not the words exactly...but the person i so loved before. I asked for 'honesty' which i believe the word carries sincerity to it. But I got 'brutality' with surprising angst in it...like they say; be careful on what you ask for, it may not be how you want it to be..." thank you so much my friend...

Re: What? Wow, that was most uncalled for...Ariala my dear...........

No one can invade you if you don't let them. I guess, in the world we are in, we are so vulnerable of invasion of feelings and boundaries. Respect begets respect. In order to get that we have to show it....thank you so much my dear and for your kind emails....i so appreciate it.

Re: my fine master Bhaskar..............

i dont consider anyone my enemy my sir...people change or become real maybe and i just have no right to condemn them for that. I can grieve and sensationalize my grief, but that's just about it. There is always a beauty from every failure and pain...."strength" Thank you so much my dear master...

if you think your poetry isnt any good dear...well that makes two of us...at least in the eyes of some great people, we apparently cannot please in spite of the brilliance of their flattering previous comments...but honestly dear, I cannot commend you enough for your admirable writings and this comes from my writer's perception and from the bottom of my heart my love. thank you for your kind support dear.

Re: Alethea_Blithe my love..........

for your unfinished sentence my love; We were the quiet, shy ones who became the 'warrior child' in the world where superiority is the measure of one's dignity.

I am so sorry this has happened to you.  I've had someone insult me here, too.  But I didn't let them win...I blocked them.  I would suggest doing the same and also reporting this person for abuse if necessary.

I love your poetry.  You write with a very open and giving heart, and that's a rare thing these days.  Please don't stop just because someone has given up on you.

Re: You people are amazing.......

I couldn't get myself to reply anymore last night, each time I see a comment of your kindness, I cant help it but cry even more each time. I had to take some meds and take off. For a while I've forgotten what was truly hurting me and how much my life has turned to devastation overnight. The email did make me feel loosing my esteem and made me feel even worst that I was the whole day. And Taps dear, yes, I didnt retaliate with ugly words, I couldnt...I have great respect for that person and love too. All of you people were amazing like i never thought before. Thank you all so much for your unbelievable supports and appreciations. But I believe nothing can hurt me as much as i've already been feeling. Maybe I just needed some pampering or comforting and didnt know where to find them, which you people didnt deprive me of. How can I ever thank you all. {lease forgive me for the stir ups I've caused all of you. What a mess I am...how much more can come. Maybe she's right, people will soon get tired of my whims in writings, but this mishap in my life wouldnt possibly get tired of me. At least I have one thing consistent to embrace me. My apologies to all and thank you so much.....

Good grief, Purple_Mermaid.  No, I haven't received an email like that, but if I did, I would assume that the one who sent it was having a really bad day and I would send her some kind of loving response and I would pray for her and then forget it.

Dearie, you write what you want and everyone else be damned.  If they compliment your work, fantastic.  If they criticize your work, then it is because they want to help, but if they are cruel about your work, as that e-mail obviously was, then ignore it.  If that person wasn't having a bad day, then the person was angrily drunk or on PMS (regardless of if its a guy or a girl, we ALL have PMS days).  Whatever.  You have A LOT of people who love your work.  Don't let one misguided soul make you think differently!!

 For the sake of Pete (or something like that), this is only one among many, many in a lifetime who will attempt to squish your beauty, talent & your heart dear Jen...this is life and gifts of beauty come with a price in this world!

Dont'cha know dear one, there wouldn't be anyone wasting any time threatening you if you weren't beautiful? You are a threat to those who feel less than (unfortunately, because they are not) we all shine in our own God-given ways in our own God-given time. Some unknowing (never having grown beyond childhood behaviors) choose to be 'line cutters' and shovers and pushers and takers, selfish with the spotlight, still unwilling to share their toys. Be kind and understanding of them as well; we EACH grown up in our own time.

We are still growing children as well. We were the quiet, shy ones who became the........(finish this sentence sweatheart). We are all growing up from childhood in EACH our own time; stand strong and proud and let your beautiful light shine; share your loving heart, breaking heart and whine, whine, whine; t'is better for the soul to whine, then t'is to wine!!

What another tells you about yourself may or may not say anything at all about you. It is up to you whether to accept or reject the words; whether they be words of praise or words of blame, whether they be hurtful or helpful. But, what that other person says to you most certainly speaks volumes about that person.

 

Matthew 12, 33 "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. 34 ...how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.

 

Matthew 15, 10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen and understand. 11 What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.'" 17 "Don't you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean.' 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what make a man 'unclean';

 

Blessings,

Moon

Everyone has said already what I feel Jen.  Its just jealousy darling, ugly and petty but unfortunately very human.  Just stay away from whoever it is, they should be ashamed of themselves and they, believe it or not, probably are, that is why they lash out like that.  Try not to think about it, but if you can't, write about it, it will help you get rid of the hurt.  Believe in yourself :-) and take care of you

Dear Jen, awww this just breaks my heart.  I can't imagine receiving a note as that, and I was not polled to agree with such a thought or notion that this "person" claims:  "People are sick " --- so with that in mind Jen, I can't imagine being hurt as you may be right now, but rise above and keep writing.  If one does not want to read a blog or even chooses not to comment that is their choice. 

Since I came to blog-it back in Jan?  I've read many - I've written much --- that is what I want to do ~ to perfect my skill, my art...gather inspiration and also learn --- I want you to know that I do read your work and at times I may not comment, simply because I don't know what to say.  But, sweet heart please, don't take to heart anything negative.  I realize it's hard.  I know rejection among artists has been going on historically ~ and when one puts their soul out in a form of art, they open themselves up to any and all remarks, comments, critiques.  That is the realm of Art ~ artists bear their souls... So with that in mind, write on Jen...and stay true to your heart.  I am reminded of: To Thine Own Self be True/ William Shakespearehttp://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/1204.html

I don't wish to get involved in any debates, arguments as such over this forum; but I wanted to let you know that I understand ~ Elyse ~

Purple, I think Corbin meant that the person who emailed you

was having a bad hair day...I could be wrong.  As you know I write a journal here on blogit.  I've poured out my heart out on blogit, too.  Yes, I know that some get tired of it but blogit is kind of like therapy for me. Sometimes what I write is more for me than for an audience.  Also, it's cheaper than a shrink.  LOL 

You write whatever you feel like writing.  Don't let ANYONE tell you how what to do about your thoughts.  Yes, I've had emails like that also.  Some people can be so heartless at times. I hope you have a better day.

Don't let them drown you, your awesome

I think it was an attack of jealousy, is my opinion, your art is wonderful, and it seems as tho some one may be a wee bit intimidated maybe!! Write on, and don't let them sifle your passion. People these days are cruel, keep your eyes on the prize.
