@xanderslee.... This is a very powerful letter. I see hope and perseverance in this letter -- reminders that there is goodness in life, and wonderful things like great literature to sustain you when you are navigating challenges and pain. I hope you remember that in your most difficult moments. And I also hope you always remember that there are people who care very deeply about you and your well-being. That includes your Write Club buds, like me, who have traveled a journey with you this last 16 weeks and watched in awe as your writing voice blossomed and you revealed to us the incredible depths of your imagination.
Please don't ever give up. The world needs your voice and your stories, man. Keep going.
I appreciate the kind words, Jayna. :)
Don't let this alarm you. It's merely a proclamation of optimism vs defeatism. Both being real with oneself and being content to dream within the confines of that reality. Trust that if I truly felt so blue that I would not blast it on Steemit.
...I'd blast it on Facebook so more people can see it. :P I kid, I kid. Your concern for me is truly touching. I'm just a young man with an old soul.
(Or maybe I'm just not that young anymore, haha)
I’ll bet you do have an old soul. So that is where all that wisdom comes from. 😊
Glad all is well. Those are interesting concepts to explore.
