we've all got devils that like to whisper little sins to us. So always know you're not alone. The fact that you're 72 proves you are strong, and that even the devil himself couldn't stop you from being the amazing person you are! I've got another piece called "the discoverers good by kiss" you might also like!! Thanks for caring, and thanks for sharing your time with me! more »

JdeLorenzo08 thank you so much! I've been writing for a long time and I'm slowly trying to build the courage to put my work out there. So this means the world to me!!! Everyone here's really great and we're glad to have you here! more »

that's exactly right, it's sort of a retort to some schools of existentialism. In that, where the argument that life is ultimately meaningless. The fact that we have a life at all is indicative of purpose. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. Because the purpose of life, is to find purpose in life. No matter how large or small you live it, the fact you have it and it ment something to you. Means you won the game. it means you gave "meaninglessness" meaning. That when you return to the abyss, you can go with your head held high. Knowing you're returning NOT empty handed. holding proof of you're own meaning, through the purpose you've created for yourself. more »

I'll have a mug with my name on it!! Lol more »

hi so I received a few votes for my piece, but only one showed up when the results of the competition were posted. I received more votes than the winner of the competition did, and id like to know what happened? was i supposed to approve the votes or something? i noticed that 1st and 2nd place each got 2 votes, while 3rd place got 4?? how does this competitions voting system work? more »

You're writing comes off conversational and effortless. Were most of the others aimed to write poetry. You wrote, and it WAS poetry. Congrats, you've got my vote.
