I'm reading this many months too late to upvote, but it's really nice to get to know you better, @idlemind! You are a very complex person, and have had many challenges in your life. It's very impressive how you have found your way, even when losing your parents while still young. I really reading this. You are a gifted writer.
Thank you so much admin @jayna. Hearing that compliment from you inspires me to keep writing. I would say that my capacity as a writer will never be equal to yours, but I'm beyond happy that someone more knowledgable and experienced has noticed my potential.
