For Old Times
I haven't written a journal in quite some time. This new site seems like a ghost town to me. Friends who used to come here are now "deleted users". Other friends I had here do no bother to answer my messages even though I write them numerous times.
I reduced my "friends" list from 20 to 9. I mean, what's the point? If you write message after message to these "friends" and, they never acknowledge or respond, I guess they aren't the "friend" you thought they were.
I don't know for sure but, I may not stay here on DS. We can't chat anymore, we don't have pictures anymore, and we can't look at a profile before we send a friend request, just to name a few of the things I do not like.
I have been here over 7 years, trying to be a blessing to others. I post poems from time to time, I have counseled with many here and even some that I supposedly "saved their lives" no longer converse with me.
I understand we all go through tough times, we all deal with different issues but, how difficult is it to answer a message?
Maybe I am getting too old for others to want to converse with me. I guess I am not young enough or "with it" enough to be a part of the "In Crowd" here.
Hope others are enjoying their "friends" and this sight more than I am, at present.

Big hug for you sweetie..... Well if you sent me a message I would respond.... I'm sorry you're feeling left out Peewee..... I found the new format takes some getting used to.... I'm on it most days so it's just become DS to me
I hope that you won't leave..... Another hug and a blessing.....xo
I hear you friend. Seems like most of the old-timers don't like this place. I miss my friends but only hear from less than a handful. It's sad. I did get a few friend requests this month...from young adults, younger than Jon. I don't feel comfortable having friends that young. I know I don't come on daily like I used to. I check in when I get an email about a new journal but I don't the messages about hugs or comment. Hang in there, there are still people here that care.
Thank you both
I hate the changes here it's cold and impersonal, I use the site from my phone which makes it even harder.
Hang in there peewee, people are trying and I for one really appreciate you even if I can't show it from the bottom of my well.
I too miss the old site and most of my old friends are gone as well. I have tried to be patient thinking they would eventually make things better. For some reason, I refuse to give up. I would be honored to have you as a friend. Warm hugs!!
Having been here before, I agree that this is not the same ds.
