She grew up, and was taught that people are good. Nobody would harm her, even if they could. But found as she has aged, not all people are sane. Even best friends, can turn on you with vigor and disdain. Yet each new friend, she trusts with all her naive heart. Welcoming them into her life is a warm and affectionate jumpstart! 1/4/2023

See, you confirmed my experiences. : ) Then, through covid, many of our friends came to the rescue. A business man once told me, don't count on your friends and family to save your business, instead I found that, without them, I would have been out of business. So there's that! We are so blinded by words sometimes that we overlook the silent heart. Good one!

Ray, forgive me but Covid had or has the elephant ears of fear to control nations.ruin businesses. More committed suicide under lockdown. I probably am stuck with this trusting heart that has been ravaged, bludgeoned and attacked. Worst, abandoned by best friends. So? I keep going. In social media? The worst place for someone like me. I am what the poem says…Love,Panagiota..

Hi Arlo…one can get really burnt being open. It’s a sad day,especially at a poetry site, I hope you never have a group try to destroy or harm you here. Take no cracks from anyone, send PS a copy of what they said…I may take a time out for awhile. Love, Panagiota
