Comment from royowen
I too have received the "gift" of rejection, it's really bad as a child, because the wounds never quite heal, so they open very easily. I know, I have them. So I know how you feel. Although I've carried on writing, knowing that my desire won't stop because of feelings, they are to be endured as Jesus never shirked or gave up, because of hurt. Bless His name. This was beautifully written, the friend obviously is an angel sent by God. Well done, blessings, Roy

Thank you, Roy. I know if anybody gets me on this website, its those who are in my fellowship. Jesus was despised and rejected of men, and I just need to remember that not everyone is going to adore me as my husband does. The writing world can be cruel sometimes and full of those who are jealous, which I'm finding out very quickly. On the other hand, I have those who really appreciate my work and what I have to say and write about. This overrides negativity. Thank you for being in my corner!!
Sending my best today as always, Sally xo

Such a wonderful offering of encouragement, my lady -- and you are so right: people so EASILY forget that words on paper/screen are interpreted with the emotion of the READER not of the writer.... as such, we must be prepared for two things when we 'play' on a site such as this:
that our words should be phrased carefully even in criticism and
that we should be willing to accept an apology when a person explains we have misunderstood their intent (because we just might have)
Both are so very important to a healthy functionality in a world-wide community such as ours!! ;) :) Thanx for the beautiful reminder, Lady Sal! ;) Yvette

Thank you so much for the constant encouragement you are to me. Even before I wrote this poem, I thought of you. I think if I didn't have people like you in my life, I'd be severely depressed. The world of online printing is often times very hard, I'm learning. Jealousy and pride are everywhere. Again, thank you for the wonderful review and for being wonderful.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sally xoxo
Comment from Gideon300
Yeah I remember taking a writing class online and being trolled by the instructor.
I don't think I was the only one shocked but
Back then I was too timid to respond but I felt my trust betrayed.
I have a thicker skin now, and know my worth.

Good word and review from you, Gideon. I appreciate your review and kimd encouragement. It means so much. I haven't been a writer for very long, but I have excelled because of FanStory's great reviewers. But in the world there are those who will always seek to destroy and malign. It's difficult when we thought we had a true friend, but figured out--we didn't. A friend will always see our merit and what is good within us and our writing. If it's nothing more than a paper to grade, I highly doubt it. I'll fan you now.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sally xo
