A butterfly cannot fly without wings and in Triond, a writer will not last without friends.
When did I start to have pink wings? And how did I turn into an attractive insect? It all began when I joined Triond and started a journey as a butterfly named Dee Gold.

I started to fly with hope in my heart that was why though doubt kept disturbing me, my first article soared with me entitled, Hope and Doubt.I was clueless then on how to make friends and I did not know that I can send messages to other Trionders until one day I received a message from Kenneth Roan. He added me as friend so he was my first fan,too.After learning how to add friends, I started to check if someone added me almost everyday. I f someone did I added him or her as my friend as well. Having friends became my reason for checking my Triond account.
I was disappointed with the views of my first two articles but the third one made me smile because it was the first one that received a comment from Jie T Elins.This was my poem dedicated to those in-love, Only One in Mind. I only share three to four articles or pictures per month.I started to write Four Sweet Things a Wife Can Do Her Husband which was followed by three more. Among the four, Four Sweet Things a Wife Can Do for her Husband 2 got the most views. Four Reminders I Learned from Dad , was my favorite article. I haven’t received thousands of views but I gained confidence with my friends comments.
I want to mention some of my friends who gave me honey or inspiration. BC Doan and Unofre Pili visited my blog,Inspiring Gold. Nobert Soloria Bermosa was my first Filipino friend and the first one to give my Stumble Upon page a review. The first Filipina friend was Cutest Princess who I considered a sister in Triond. Although my other Filipino friends and those from other countries were not mentioned here, I just want to thank you all for giving me reasons to keep on flying in this garden called Triond. Everyone will remain in my heart.
Like a real butterfly, I explored and found many sweet things in life by being a part of the

I have found good friends here at Triond as well. Anne Lyken Garner was the one to show me how to make friends. I have had very few articles reach in the hundreds of views, usually if I get 20 per article I am pleased. I have yet to make a whole dollar in a month – though Jan.came close with 98 cents.
The best part of the experience has to be the comments and messages.

How very, very true. Nicely expressed. I feel the same way. I have been at Triond for a few months and not too many new people have read my stuff or left comments. Many people are missing out on some wonderful writing.
Thanks again for sharing with us.

Keep flying Dee! I like Triond because I too can learn to spread my wings here. I’m thankful for a few friends who tell me like it is, a few friends who just always encourage me, a few friends who check on me when I’m silent. Brian
