5 Prosers I Appreciate
I too have some Prosers that I would like to express my appreciation to. Here are 5 Prosers that I’ve grown to appreciate during my time here on Prose:
1. Danceinsilence
This guy’s been a true mentor and friend in the last few months that I’ve known him. He’s so much wiser than he claims to be, helped by his long experience in life. He even helped me out in making edits to my Sins of the Father stories. He’s very open-minded about all opinions and feelings, and he’s got a big heart. Also, the man’s a military veteran. That’s another thing to appreciate. So thank you, my friend, for your help, your expertise, your wisdom, and your amazingly fun challenges; and thank you for your service to our country.
2. Mnezz
This girl is one of the best here on Prose. She is everyone’s best friend on Prose, including mine. She may be half way across the world, but she always feels like she’s right next store, giving each and everyone support and care. She’s always there to read your posts whenever possible, and will say just the sweetest things about it. She’s always been my biggest supporter when it came to my reviews and my Sins of the Father stories. You can be sure that she will always be there to brighten up your day with a comment and a smile.
3. Ken_W_Writer
This guy is great! He writes such brilliant poems and haikus the likes I’ve never seen before. Along of which he attaches some amazing pictures to his writes, such as open meadows and trees changing colors. I often wonder, since on his profile page states that he does photography, if those pictures are ones he has taken himself. Regardless, they are still wonderful pictures. Additionally, when I admitted in a post that when I was younger I used to look down on the LGBT community through blind loathsomeness and have since regretted my attitude and changed my views for the better, he, being an openly gay man, accepted me for the changed man I am today. I almost cried when I read his comment. Ken is a good man and a good friend, and I am proud to call him my friend.
4. JD4
He’s a cool kid. He’s not afraid to voice his opinion, and he’s not afraid to stand up for other people’s opinions. We’ve butted heads a couple times before, but nothing too serious to make us resent each other. Sometimes he comes off as a little arrogant and naive as he comments and questions our posts, but he’s not doing so intentionally, as I’ve come to understand. He’s trying to understand our views and thinking in order to engage into a meaningful and insightive conversation, like each of us do everyday away from our computers. And at the same time he expresses how much he respects each of us as an independent individual for sharing our viewpoints. Because what he does best is listen(or in our cases read) what is on our minds. And for that, I deeply respect him. If you’re willing to have a conversation about anything, or just to talk about what stresses you, talk to him, and he will treat you like any fellow man and friend.
5. Finder
She is one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet here on Prose. She does her best for her fellow prosers and for Prose. Her challenges are amazing. So creative and instructive that I often wished I had her abilities to do that with my challenges. She also has an extraordinary gift of allowing her poetry to convey her emotions, much of them range from pure joy and happiness to pain and regret, with each word that makes you feel as she does. She is also courageous, being open about her bipolar disorder, which is not an easy thing to admit, nor is it easy to understand. I know exactly how she feels. I am autistic, but I wish I could be brave as her when being open about it. I don’t think Prose would ever be the same without her. She is a part of this community, and our world, just as we are a part of hers.
Well that’s five, but fuck it. There’s a lot more prosers here that deserve some appreciation too. Let’s list them off:

I will admit that there are a couple on this lengthy list of mine that I have had strong disagreements with, some have turned into full blown arguments that resulted into blocking each other out of our lives. Despite our differences it doesn’t not mean that I think lessly of them. What I appreciate about those people is their impact to others on Prose, and the work they’ve made into their posts, whether it be writing a poem/shory or expressing their views, all of which they are always finding new ways of perfecting their writing. Odds are they may not be reading this, but if they are, I would like to say that I do apologize how things turned out and wished we could have ended on better terms. Perhaps they’ll forgive me, perhaps they won’t. Only time will tell.
And lastly, I wish to extend my appreciation and gratitude to A and Z, the brain and heart behind Prose. Without them, Prose would not be as it is right now, and there would be no community like us. Prose has become more than just a community, it has become a voice. A voice for many opinions, poets, and fiction writers. We are all given a chance to express ourselves, as well as a gift to share our thoughts and stories to everyone.
“We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results.”
