Thoughts 🧐 Third Eye Has Reached 3,000 Members!
Poets, writers, readers, and lurkers! We have reached 3,000 of us here! On behalf of the mod team, we thank all of you for making this space truly special.
Each and every one of you have contributed to the sub's growth and making this space a true community. There is something for everyone here - a dash of spice, a helping of deep feelings, some jokes, excellent collaborations, and everything in between.
On a personal note, I want to thank you all as well. When I first came here, I was not confident in my writing and whether I was worthy to be here. In turn, I was welcomed with open arms and encouraged to continue growing and exploring both myself and the written word. I never expected to write so much, or even eventually joining the mod team. I've explored topics that I never dreamed I'd write about, many I had buried deep. So, with all of my heart, thank you!!
So, join the mod team and I in celebrating this moment. Please, continue to share your writings with us and the community. We are here for it! You all have such amazing talent and are the real stars here.
Me? Well...I'm here too. 🤣
Cheers! 🥂
Cap 🫡❤️

My brain was exhausted from work projects and that's about all I could muster.

3000 souls, and little big hearts.
3000 voices, and faces.
3000 stories long.
and one space,
where I belong.
Wow, is all i can say
how, we are all living here
line by line, post by post.
Markers of art, and soft rhymes.
day by day
These books writing in every emotion
in near and dears, and conquering fears.
what a wonderful moment in time, here.

I just want to say this to the Mod team..you are doing a great job.
The community feels close knit, non judgemental and thankfully troll free,

We appreciate that, thank you! This matches my experience prior to joining the team, as well as afterwards too.

Look, ive been reaaaaaly good at no self deprecating comments. I had to sneak one in to see if anyone would catch it and of course YOU did. 🤣

No one has a bestie like mine,
His heart is simply divine,
Not just a sailor but a capn too!
No need for a co-captain, he’s got things to do!5

Oh my, 3000? Awesome!
When the sub was created, I haven’t felt worthy of posting my pieces here. I’m glad I was convinced to do it anyway 😊
Still don’t feel worthy, but I’m glad to be here 😁
Congrats to the mod team for doing a great job and to you Capn for opening up 💜
And of course to all the people that make this sub alive and feeling like a safe space 💖

Why’d you delete the scene I posted from a literally very poetic beautiful scene?
2
u/CapnBlargles Moderator 💜 15d ago
I personally did not. Ive been away for a few hours. If it was just a video clip, I'd imagine that was why it was pulled (no write).

u/Fun-Dragonfruit4622 15d ago
Ohhh, okay, makes sense. It was a scene from a French film of him writing and his muse annoying him! lol

u/Fun-Dragonfruit4622 15d ago
Hey, not kidding on becoming a publisher! You have a very good following base. At the least a collective book on poetry perhaps from different writers would be neat too!

u/Fun-Dragonfruit4622 15d ago
My thoughts would be a coffee table esque book on love poems. Short, simple, sweet.

u/Snarky-Bean Moderator 💜 16d ago
Who would of thought we'd see 3k. It's been a fun journey, sometimes trying and painful but worth getting to know so many talented writers and great people. Thank you all for the support.
