          I have a question for those of you here, as someone who started here a few years back but hasn't been around lately. Is there some purging going on, where mature content gets deleted? I was just notified that one of my poems was taken down and I wonder if it's worth the hassle of contesting this. The poem was called Invisible and it was about hiding behind sexuality in the search of connection but still feeling invisible. It was influenced by the direct language people used around here in the mature content stories so I wasn't hiding behind any words trying to sugarcoat this. But it wasn't promoting any self harm or describing sa. It was simply a direct description of that feeling and mental state. I'm bummed about it because I'm sure some readers could relate to it and I also kind of liked the art I did for it as well. Should I fight it or are they purging the whole space trying to make it kids friendly or something?

That bio is epic. 

@DamningSiren Thank you for the encouraging message. Made me all warm and fuzzy ❤️. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. At least I know that I did my best in writing that proposal. It is a subject I wanted to research for the last past years both in art and academically. I’ve really put my all in writing it. I really hope that I will be accepted as without the support and structure of an university program I don’t believe that it is doable. Good luck on your graduation too. I’m sure you’ll put your brilliant brain and creativity to good use. Speaking of which, any chances to read your book again? I was really enjoying it and I was sorry to see it (and you) go. 

@DamningSiren I hope everything is OK? I’ve  been more balanced in the last months and that means less poetry but more work into other projects. I’ve been brainstorming some creative minds around here to be honest, asking for their input on the subject of mental health in relationship with creativity. I’ve decided to apply for a PhD in art and that is my research proposal. Feel free to contribute to the discussion. I would love to hear your thoughts on it and the more opinions I receive the less bias my approach will be.  Now, let’s see if I can actually get in. Idk how to send those positive thoughts in the universe or something but I would sure need it as there were like 2 spots available for 200 candidates. What about you? What are your plans on Wattpad? Reading? Writing? 

@DamningSiren Oh hi, how are you? Nice to hear from you. 

@rolling-stonez Life was pretty chaotic these past few months and it will continue for some time still. I guess being busy leaves less room for overthinking so overall I could say I’ve been doing better, hence the lack of depression poems here lol. Although the bullshit and blatant greed of some people in art has been clawing away at me. Nothing beats the feeling of people wiping their feet on you while pretending that they are doing you a huge favor. One more milking cow for the art market. So hey, maybe it was anger that kept me out of depression. There is good in every evil, right?  

Thank you for checking in on me. It was a wonderful surprise. I have only received three notifications though, about this message and about the like and comment on “Aged”, so no excuses necessary. Not that it ever would be, notifications from you are a joy and not a bother. I haven’t been written lately so there isn’t much to see here though.  I guess that is both good and bad.  

Your book themes are so prettty!

Good poems, they’re composed well but it’s be better if they were in 1 book 

Hey great works, enjoyed reading them
