Trying again... I hate to think that I went down without a fight...

I have read some of your poems. That was enough to tell me that I'm in the junior league (and if that). You are right about one thing though. What comes out is raw, unrefined, untouched. I express myself a lot better in my mother tongue...

Thank you for the compliment, but I do think you underestimate the power of the images you portray. In my opinion, raw is as wondrous as refined, merely different. However, I am saddened that I will never have the opportunity to witness the beauty of those writings expressed in your native tongue.

It wasn't a compliment.... It was plain truth. Maybe I do underestimate the power or raw images. I don't know. And.... I can always teach you Greek :)

I think the reason so many people replied to my post was because I replied to each and everyone of them personally, which kept the thread on top for a long time. But I appreciate your effort to convince me that my words move people. We won't know until we talk :)

Strictly from a communications point of view, you had an objective when you created this thread. You could have gone several different ways in terms of tone and manner. You wrote it in such a way that made people relate to you and respond in a positive way. And now you're serving pita lol Give yourself some credit. I didn't say you sounded like Shakespeare lol

Not Shakespeare, huh? :(
Oh, well... I guess I have to try better next time....

And don't blame me about pita! @Shalimar was the one who asked for it!

I know, a bit rough, but, after reading some of CAKCy's posts I felt he'd know exactly where I was goin'

Interesting fellow

Got some depth

I really like him already

Guys! Guys! Gary O likes me already!
Is that a good thing or shall I delete my account?

(Gary O: Thank you, man. You made me laugh in my misery. I owe you...)

The word Greek sparked a memory. 😂. Funny how that happens. My step father was Greek. He was a nice guy and very kind to my brother and myself. A wonderful grandparent to my son while he (my step father) was around. Unfortunately, he always made it clear that he was a STEP father. After he divorced my mother, we never heard from him again. Course after the first divorce we rarely heard from our bio father.

I wrote this because the memory popped up and you seem to be a drift over the loss of your dog, and your wife, somewhat. But we all sustain great losses and we all learn to cope. We can get new pets, and new human companions, and, even new parents. Life is about leaving the past, in the past.

IMO, since you are not in therapy and your depression seems severe, you should get therapy. Why haven’t you gotten therapy? My husband has different issues and he has refused therapy as well. Although, recently he has agreed to go, but hasn’t yet. I doubt he will.

Well, hmm, is Gary O liking you a good thing? Some people have Gary on ignore, some people have me on ignore, so is Gary liking you a good thing? I don’t know. But if you don’t like what someone says, you can always put them on ignore 😂😂😂

Well I only really just read your posts. Show us your sonnets and we'll put it to a vote :p

I was actually pleasantly surprised that you sounded more upbeat than before. So good for you!

Now... where did I put my sonnets....?

Yes, I did. To the point that I was considering quitting the forum and registering again to live the experience of a second "welcome party"! :)

But... the party is over... I still have a hangover... everybody walks their own way and life (miserable or not) continues just the way it did the day before....

Not all Greeks are the same. I used to be a step father of the children of my first wife. After we divorced I paid child support (though I didn't have to) for a number of years (their bio father didn't). We still keep in touch especially with the oldest one (who hated me the most back then).

Some people manage to leave the past, in the past. Some people carry it with them for the rest of their lives. I'm in the second group.

I should do many things, that I don't. I tried getting therapy. It caused more problems than it solved. I gave it up and tried to cope with it on my own. Not very successfully... but then again... who really cares?

I can't understand why someone would have @Gary O' or you on ignore.

Nobody ... and I mean no living being deserves to be ignored. Period.
