How I Write
Since good writing is much discussed lately, I thought I’d throw open the closet door and reveal my secrets to the world. Or as much of the world as is still on Gather – . . . more
"Well-said. I've been struggling with depression for 50 years and I still can be unaware that it's happening. It's important to stay in close contact with the seniors in your life, because the signs may . . ." more
"Exercise is one of the best anti-depressants, so much so that I used to keep a jump rope around for bad days. That and light-therapy say to me that depression has strong roots in the body. I know that . . ." more
"I began to look at vegan diets when I learned that marathon runners swear by them. I have never seen a discussion of mental health and vegan diet - I'd like to.I have had chronic depression since age 9. . . ." more
Pulled it. Not worth the effort. One person who I appreciate stated why fight the battle to get an apology that will not mean diddly. (gremlin paraphrase)
i honestly can't take the cranks anymore. i'd rather put my art up on blogs and link things on facebook and redgage than continue in this kiddy cesspool that gather is festering.
if i want to hear people tell me i'm going to hell, i can just walk a block over to the street preachers. if i want to hear politics, i can call my family.
i was told gather was a site for adults who like to create. i wasn't aware that what they wanted to create was mudslinging events.
i wish i could say i was going someplace warm or to some great european city, but alas, i'm just getting ready to bail out of gather. i'll find you on the FB side of life.
