in OCD • 6 years ago

Oh damn, I was so happy for you, and now I’m terribly disappointed as well:-( They can make these things look SO real!

It will happen for you, I’m sure of it <3

    Bless your big heart...

    I’m still recovering from the shock & being contacted by other writers who have received a similar offer.

    Asking myself, how to better shield our hearts against disappointment, by not trusting so blindly...

      I think, very cynically, that you always have to believe it's NOT true at first, and then only 'check if maybe it is true anyway'. I have this mindset and it does help ;-) If it's too good to be true it probably isn't. But this scam you describe is nasty as it's so close to what you're working towards to - that makes it more believeable than a random 'you won the lottery!'...

      You're right, of course. Sorry, just seeing this... Overcoming a flu and out-of-town house guest visiting. Meantime, I've managed to write a poem, to process this experience, and I hope to post it, here, soon.

      Thanks, again, for your compassion & advice.
