Dear Litster, once more

[ydahecnot]

Dear Friends,

Sorry that someone has wreaked a fair amount of havoc tonight. Ignoring it is probably best but I'm honestly mortified. And my sincerest apologies to the people he messaged. I think I can at least put a name to it.

Lit is a wonderful, fun, amazingly sexy place... until it's not and then it's a fucking bummer.

Thanks for the support, both violent and peaceful.

Litster,

Damn, I missed the violence.

If its the troll who's been fixated on insulting you than you've no need to apologize.

And yes, Lit is fun until someone decides to create a public disruptive spectacle.

Keep on being you and don't sweat the small stuff.

Dear Not Jane,

We know who you are, and who's the troll. It's all good.

Dear Litland,

I probably don’t need to say anything, but it will make me feel a little better.

I snipped in case you delete.... I just wanted to offer you hugs. I'll gladly turn on my PMs if you need to talk.

Dear Troll Afflicted Litster

The guy'd a supreme twatwaffle and needs to get over whatever the fuck is eating him. Past history indicates (1) this is consistent behavior and (2) He'll get tired soon.

In the mean time, I hope you will ignore him and keep doing what you're doing to and for Lit.

Signed

Tired of Good People Leaving Lit

 

[AlliaPotestas]

Dear sleep deprived litser,

Sometimes it is the hardest thing in the world to be kind to yourself but you are completely worth that self compassion.

We have all had moments where we have snapped at the wrong person when pushed to breaking point, a true friend will forgive you but sometimes it is more important to forgive yourself.

I hope the appointment went well and I am so truly sorry for your loss. I lost my mum 25 years ago, it does get easier as the unhelpful cliche goes, but what I wasn’t really prepared for was how much she remains - even now, I find myself thinking of her at times and it is more a comfort than a sadness, you’ll get there lovely,

Signed,

Very much still my mothers daughter, xx

Dear Lit

I had another friend leave Lit today.

No drama, no declaration. She just went gentle into that Good Night, metaphorically speaking. She was driven off by the high school / nursery school behavior around here. Oh and the twatwaffles. Beware the twatwaffles.

Honestly, she wasn't the first and I fear she won't be the last.

FFS PLAY NICE!

Signed

A little sad.

Litsters,

I can’t see it from a woman’s perspective because I don’t get all the come-ons and dick pics. But if you would otherwise stay, ignore the trolls. Heck, block them if you want. Or just treat them as bad comedy and shake your head. They ain’t worth leaving over. Just one man’s view.

The last couple of Listers who've left I talked to didn't leave because of the trolls. They left because of the jealousies of other listers and constant bickering in the threads..

Dear Rootin’-Tootin’, Straight-Shooting Litster,

Done.

As to that other little matter. I seem to have hit something of a wall. Not giving up, you understand, but until I can figure out how to dig under, go through, or climb over without cause a ruckus there is going to be a teensy hiatus.

Until then...I found myself on your turf earlier this week. After gussying up in Choo and a minuscule skirt I sashayed into the diviest dive I could find. Knocked back a smidge of something absolutely awful in your honor.

Then ran like hell!

Thank you all for the replies. I've read them all, and they mean a lot to me. More than I can express right now!

Still reeling in the shock of the news of our lit-sister XBeautifulSoulX, so having a lot of quiet reflection moments.

Dear Litland,

I probably don’t need to say anything, but it will make me feel a little better.

I often feel like the things I’m posting are “too much”, and it annoys me more than anyone realises. I have the nickname “Miss Positivity” in my offline life, and I end up holding a lot in, and sometimes it bubbles out into my online life. I’m sure we can all relate to having to put on an act for those around us when not feeling okay!

I came back to lit after the death of my mother. I’ve been struggling to come to terms with it. Then recently I had a cancer scare, and to the one close to me, it would have appeared that I was doing my best to ignore it, but honestly it scared the shit out of me and I was in tears daily. Holding that all in eventually burst into a huge vent at the one person I never ever wanted to direct anything like that at. That’s been hurting me ever since.

So now I’ve started medical treatment (not for cancer, for something else) and I feel alone and isolated, and I’m trying to stay positive, but at times the grief of all of the above gets a little too much. So Miss Positivity slips up and lets it out online. I don’t mean to drag anyone down, I’m just trying to navigate a lot at once. Those who talk to me via PM will agree that I’m not the misery I may come across as!

So I apologise to anyone who is annoyed by my posts, and deeply sorry to my friend who received the vent that he’s struggling to forgive me for. I spoke from a place of deep fear.

I’m not after attention, or sympathy, I don’t even need a reply to this. I’m just struggling tonight with knowing I have an appointment in a few hours, and it’s making me think. I just want a clean slate, to start over with everything.

I’m pretty sure I’ll delete this, but for now, I wanted to get some things off my chest

Sleep Deprived Litster

Dear Sleepy,

We already got one depraved Litster, we don't need another so go ahead & rant & rage all you want I'll understand. Instead of holding everything in, you might want to take up boxing, or stick fighting, or better yet, just get a motorcycle & go cruising. It's worked for me.

With all the trolls and alts, I'm right behind you.

They've always been around, but they seem to thrive on hurting people and, lately, I've just had my fill. I lost a lot of my desire for this place in January's craziness.

Those sort of people only have power and stay because no one stands up to them. If you care, say something. Or do like I do and throw goats at them. If no one stands up for anything, they are just as guilty as those who committed the crime.

I'm done standing up and arguing and pointing out people. I gave that up when I decided it took too much of my energy and peace of mind. Fuck 'em. One day, you just run out of goats.
