I'm Staying

pineapple_babbit's picture

Why must I be the only to remain??
The only to be faithful,
The only to stay
in the one place I can call my home
While I’m at home…
Everyone who’s been here
For so long
Is going away for a while
At least until things calm down…
Now even apples is going
And abandoning the place for a while
To see what may happen
I dont really understand whats going on
or what happened
but whatever the case
I’m going to stay here
This is the one place that knows me for me
The one place that can see in my mind
And wont judge me for not being popular
The one place I have to express my feelings
And to vent them too
I can’t leave YWP for even a week
I love writing too much…

Good for you...

I think that things have settled down... But do stick around. And all the folks who have said they were taking breaks, are still around.

I think what's happening is that there is a desire for more... more and deeper commenting on the writing, more feedback on the writing itself and not, necessarily, on the people writing it. An interesting evolution within a community.

I am interested because we want to make sure we are supporting a community that serves a variety of needs. And how can we do that? Well, that's where all of you come in...you offer suggestions.

Anyway, hang in there. A lot of folks are still here and, each day, new folks come in.

Thanks gg. I'll hang in. But

Thanks gg. I'll hang in.
But still... I will definately miss the older people leaving if they do... The new people seem nice. ^_^ And I'm always willing to meet new people here. We are all alike because of our intrest in writing. Thats what brought us together to begin with, and hopefully, thats what will keep us together. ♥
I'm happy with the site to begin with, just because it is a place for me to write, and no other site has that... Its like an ongoing 24/7 literary club. I'm gratefull for what I have here and I couldn't ask for too many changes because I think it is almost perfect... *I mean, there could be a little thing here and there that I may ask to be changed, but you know what I mean. *
Hopefully, we can be the family-like group that we have been in the past and just pull ourselves together. It would make life so much happier for all. ^_^
Like always, *huggles* to all and much ♥ ....
