[Sweet_Serenity]

Decided after mediation and came to the point where need to share with the community. Love the forum. Safe place to share ourselves. Started thread on Barbra Streisand connection and deep respect countless acts of paying forward less fortunate. Apparently several individuals felt my post confusing thinking she died. Didn't stop continued on along with others agreeing how my wording confused them. Increasing like a chain reaction. Excused myself plans for the evening. Now to the point of this. One comment spoke of my not using sentences. We are not privy to where someone comes from or what experiences might have been through. Childhood abducted kept long time. Will not go into details. Experience stole many years including schooling. Eventually later in life GED. Understand living PTSD effects persons skills along with mind and physically. This year chose healing path. No longer carry weight of the past. If my lack of proper writing or use of sentences offends I'm trying my best. Enjoy coming here plan to continue. Met wonderful people including Team Qvc moderator's helpful ladies sharing the journey of wellness. You only see my screen presence. Holding my hand out. Kindness doesn't cost anything. Not only benefits the recipient win win for the giver. Spiritual beings having a human experience.

WOW, you truly are an amazing person. I could never in a million years have walked in your shoes. Don't give the negativity a second thought, enjoy the forum and keep posting. Glad you are here.

@Sweet_Serenity  Love hearing from you....and just to let you know, I went to graduate school and frequently write in incomplete sentences when I share on the forum.  You are a bright light and it is not our past that determines who we are, but our current actions.  Meditation, vegan, running a marathon....all wonderful quests/lifestyles....Much respect.

@Sweet_Serenity, I am so glad you "talked" to us the way you did.  Thank you.  I will never judge, but will admire you.  Bless you.  What  you wrote is so very important to all of us.

Thank you for your candor.  I can say in all honesty that I have always greatly  appreciated your presence here.  I respect your opinions and the way you state your opinions honestly and openly.  I do not see anything wrong with the way you choose to write your messages.  I  look at the substance of the posts, and not the vehicle by which it is delivered ---- that is what is important to me.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Sometimes people ignore the substance of a post and focus on something they can be critical of, this says more about them than you. Thank you again for sharing your story. 🌺❤️🌺

It is what you say, not how you say it. I enjoy your presence on forum. You bring a positive energy.

Sometimes I don't use complete sentences for the sake of brevity, and I have many degrees.

Please don't allow negativity to rent space in your head, btw I love your log in name!

@Sweet_Serenity All I can say is that you write just fine by me.  Lots of us have our own writing style, and just like a gift, it's the thought that counts.

@Sweet_Serenity  Sadly,  there will always be critics, haters and negative people.  Some people enjoy that world, some know no other.  Sad for them.  They seem to feed on each other, and yes, that chain begins and takes over.  Don't let it. Stay focused on your message and who you are.  Thankfully, these people only touch you marginally, and as upsetting as that may be even then, don't let them ruin a minute of your day.  That just gives them power and more space in your world than they deserve.

Sending you a BIG HUG, and hope to see many many more of your wonderful thoughts, messages, and all that you have to share.....   whether in full sentences, short sentences, pictures, words, run on sentences, fragmented sentences...  random thoughts.....  this space is yours to paint with words however you choose.  xoxox

@Sweet_Serenity, I enjoy your posts. No one should have to explain why he or she has a certain writing style on a forum. I'm sorry about your childhood and amazed how you have dealt with it.  You are so strong even though you have days, I'm sure, when you don't feel that way.  I stay away from negative threads here--even those with perfect punctuation, complete sentences, and paragraphs.  I have a higher than average IQ, but I'm not the best speller. I can't read a map. And I'm far from being a perfect person!
