And you are one of the gems that encouraged me and gave feedback when I wanted to take it further. We’re all here to share and grow." (I guess the reply to replies doesn't work now?) It seems quite a few of us begin these kinds of Tumblr accounts when things begin to look grey; I originally started up this blog when my ex moved off to Poland for a while, and I didn't think I'd see her again. I'm grateful for it, though. I love this place. I'll admit, however, for a few months here, I felt a bit down every time I logged on. Between all the people changing, feeling out of the loop, and my lack of writing to share with the community, I had almost decided to leave it alone for good. I won't though, but I came damn close. I appreciate your response (and your interest in my writing!); despite it all, it's good to know I have acquaintances and friends here still, and that my work matters (even the slightest bit). I apologize if I come off fatalistic; I'm honestly not trying to be so dramatic! So thank you.
