The true family @ pathetic.org

Well In response to my journal entry.. I recieved about 6 messages in roughly 12 hours... to be honest it got me a little misty eyed... looking back, I'm not apologetic for what I said.. I'm just glad I didnt do what I really wanted to do and post that comment in the message boards.. lol... but it did make me realize that there are people on here who do take the time to wander in and make you feel better about a situation. You know who you are..
This goes out to everyone on here, who take the time to read this.. thanks for taking the time to wander in and see what's up with someone else's life.. I never expected to get the response I did.. I just wanted to vent about how some people are so thoughtless to bash someone over the fact that they think outside the box.. In my mind, thats what makes Pathetic.org a community.. the fact that there are all these differnet views on theworld in one place. I was just upset that someone was trying to treat me like I would never treat them.. I don't force my opinions on someone else.. no matter how misguided they might be.. I also don't tell people negative things about themselves or their poetry.. To someone creative, I feel that is proabbly one of the worst things you can do.
As for the comment I made about Nepotism in here.. I do feel in certain ways people on here take advantage of other people.. but it's the real world.. and things like that will always happen.. I wasent trying to single someone out in particular.. or even trying to single out the staff here at pathetic... I feel they do a just job on here.. and that their guidence is needed from time to time to weed out things and people that the whole deem as spiteful or even downright hateful.. I applaud them for the hard efforts that go into this site.. so maybe I shouldn't have gone to as far as to say that.. but I do feel in some aspects that people on here need to tkae this a little more lighthearted than they do.
In summation, I love being here.. it's been my home for over 5 years.. I've missed it when it was gone, I've loved it when it was here.. I've loved being able to see all these great minds in one place.. I've loved taking the time to bask in these thoughts and visions from other people.. Sometimes I might not agree with them and sometimes people don't agree with me.. but thats what makes this place special.. It's a swirling mass of art, pain, love and hate.. and for that.. I love you all for bareing your soul to the world.

Finally.. If you don't have something constructive to say. Keep it to yourself.. You're holding someone's heart in your hands when you send them a message.. I might be thickheaded and even thick skinned.. but words are just words sometimes.. and sometimes they can be a knife in the heart.. espically when it comes down to your work. So unless you feel that you can add something here.. Keep it to yourself. I don't tell people that they suck or even that they need to go back and learn how to write.. So don't do it... It's the right thing to do, to respect your family here....even if you don't consider us all family.

We are.
