You are not alone.

I hear you.

I sympathize with you as I'm sure you could sympathize with me.

If you are capable of feeling life's lows, then love, you are capable of feeling life's highs.

You have a passionate heart. You always knew this.

Treat it well.

Give it a break. Be easy on that heart of yours! Seriously!

Let yourself feel what it is you haven't been feeling.

Let it out.

It's okay.

Whatever the lesson is that you need to learn here...

Take the time to learn it.

Let it resonante within you so you can reform.

Cry it out.

Start a kickboxing class.

Something healthy but new.

Find this new outlet and channel your energy there.

Give it a place.

Accept that where there is darkness, there will be light.

You already know that...

But believe it my friend!

Just because it feels far away now, doesn't mean you won't find an even happier state of being.

A happier you.

It is and will be possible.

Rebuild. Reform. Renew.

Words are beautiful. Start speaking beautiful words everyday. To yourself and others.

Use language as your guide.

Change your narrative.

You can do this.

The fact that you recognize what you need (whether that means "Pretty Shiny Words" or something else) means you already ARE doing this!

Move forward my friend.

You will one day look back and realize you are exactly where you want to be.

We’ve fixed a bunch of bugs and made a few other quality-of-life improvements. If any of these bugs don’t seem fixed, or you know of any others that remain unfixed, please let us know in the comments below.

Performance Improvement: Stream

Some optimizations have been made to improve the stream (home screen) loading time. In most cases, it was taking far too long to load posts from authors you follow.

UI Improvement: Message/Block Buttons

New message/block buttons have been added to user profiles. These buttons appear both on desktop and mobile versions of the website in the upper right, near the profile picture.

Improvement: Challenge Browsing

We removed the filter that, when browsing challenges, hid most challenges by authors you do not follow. You will now see all challenges when browsing. This is experimental. If it ends up swamping you with challenges, let us know and we'll revert the change.

Bug Fix: User Swapping

A bug that previously caused profile pictures, comments, posts, messages, and other things to appear as though they were created by the wrong user has been fixed. This bug was particularly common when posting new comments and sending new messages.

Bug Fix: Liking/Reposting

A bug preventing likes and reposts from registering properly has been fixed. This affected posts that were part of a concluded challenges. Affected posts have been modified to reflect the correct like/repost counts.

Bug Fix: Challenge Resolutions

A bug that prevented challenges from properly resolving upon reaching their deadline has been fixed. This prevented winners from being notified when their post was selected, and challenge creators from being notified when it was time to pick a winner. Both issues have been fixed.

Bug Fix: Usernames with Hyphens

Hyphens were never intended to be allowed in usernames. All usernames that previously included a hyphen have had that hyphen replaced with an underscore. New usernames will not allow hyphens.

Bug Fix: Autoscrolling in Messages

A bug that prevented the message window from scrolling to the bottom when opening a conversation has been fixed. The window should now properly scroll to the bottom of a conversation when a message window is opened.

Bug Fix: Attach Portal

The “Attach Portal” button is now properly greyed out when editing a post. In the future, we will likely allow for posts without portals to be retroactively added to a portal.
