I've come to your profile to read a few of the things I've missed these past weeks to find this post. First of all congratulations on your 5th birthday on Hive. It sounds stupid even saying this now. However, maybe somewhere in the future, readers of your published works will all flock here to read the master's old work on his blog.
The funny thing (for me) is that it's because of writers like you (mainly you) that I have left my ideas of writing more than just a blog on the back burner as I will never be able to compare to your talent. That's not your fault haha, it's partly my own confidence (or lack thereof) at play and partly that moment where you read someone's work and think: "OH COME ON! How could I ever think I was good enough to compete with that?" You know, like that moment when people come on to a talent show right after a fucking 12-year-old that sang a Janis Joplin song better than Janis would. LOL.
Anyway, I am glad that you have your goals set out so clearly even though it means you're leaving us.
It is an absolute pleasure to know you, to actually meet you in person, and to spend time with you here and in discord. I know we'll meet again someday but till then:
To your dreams!
If I can wish for anything right now, it is for you to achieve them all.
Thanks for your lovely parting words @misslasvegas
I've already chatted to you on discord much more in-depth than this post even delves into why I have to leave... so i'll leave that subject alone 😂
Thanks for being a good friend, and I'll hopefully meet you in that great unknowable country called the future 🙂🌿
