Last time I wrote one of these was 2019. I read what I wrote in my previous anniversary post and some part of me is really happy for that version of me. Things were “perfect” in a sense — but some big lessons were waiting just past the horizon.
It’s been 7 years. 7 years of doing this and —it’s weird because it doesn’t feel that long (It does however when I factor how many posts I’ve written) roughly 800+ ; which isn’t much by the way.
People rightfully ask why I haven’t published a poetry anthology yet. Lol it’s on the way, trust me. You’ll know when it’s ready 🙂
I’ve met many people during my time here, some of them disappeared unannounced and I hope they are okay wherever they are. Everyone is going through something — but not everyone sticks around.
When we’re not staring at the screen we all have some other stuff going on.
In the end, I just hope everyone is alright.
Bye.

Hello Dante, first of all, Congratulations! It does sound like a long run and I hope you continue writing for many more years. I absolutely agree with what you said, I have been on this space for 5 years myself and it really doesn’t feel that long but the conception of time is really mischievous at times.
Looking forward to your anthology!
I hope you have been doing well and are
happy and healthy! Stay happy and healthy! Stay gold! 💜

Enigma! This day just got good all of a sudden lol!
I’ve been wondering where you are. I’m really happy to hear from you. I hope you are doing alright. I definitely can’t wait to see what you have cooked for us.
I’ve been super busy the last few months lol been dabbling in spoken word these last few weeks. I’m happy with my progress in that regard 🙂 but seriously, good to hear from you!
Last year has been hard for every person and I was just consumed with that. However, it was also a year where I wrote constantly to channelize my feelings and I certainly believe you may have done that too.
I am happy to be back here and to read everything that you have written these past months. It is good to hear from you as well.
Despite the challenges I’m grateful most people I know are okay. I’ll be sure to check out your blog as soon as I can 🙂
Indeed, that’s the only thing that matters. Oh, please take your time, no worries! Happy reading!
Well I for one am super happy to have found you!!
And I you Tara! Lol please don’t disappear. Or if you do, please say “bye” 😅
For sure, OD… it’s a deal 🥰
