Literature Network has been my safe place for a long time. The forums here have allowed me to express my deepest and sometimes darkest thoughts and secrets. It has allowed me to be judged by the quality of my writing, not by my personhood. I am so truly grateful for that. It's such a liberating thing to be able to feel the depths of my emotions, organize them into words, and release them by writing without the harshness of disdain that most would credit to me as the writer. I just want to say thank you all for that. I've been writing here for a long time. I became a better writer here from people who's talent was immeasurable on this small obscure platform. I'm not sure if some of those people are even still alive. I remember when PrinceMyskin, Dark Muse, MystyrMystyry, Melody, went seemingly dark. I was Dara.cv before I was Shadowlight. It was years in between but this forum, though smaller, was still there for me in my darkest hours. To hear me when I had no one in my world to tell. I used Litnet as my safe place but truly what I needed was safe people, and I found them here. Litnet is dying. The platform is outdated. I can let it go but I don't want to let you all go. So for those few stragglers, those remnant epic poets of Litnet, if there is another place we can call home but still be together, can we? I have been searching Facebook poetry groups and none of them compare to the talent and kinship I found here. Perhaps we can create our own Facebook society? Or perhaps there is another platform you all have moved along to, if so can I be invited? I still need you all. I still have more to feel, to tell, to think, to see, to write. Please can we try to stay together.
