WOW!! CONGRATS!!
This super exciting and I am thinking.. after reading your post.. super satisfying. You have more than earned your break from daily creating. I can't set a goal like that for myself. My life at this point is to unpredictable and a bit complicated for it. So I am both jealous and proud of you. I am also happy to hear that Steemit has not been a regret for you, but rather the opposite. Our time is limited (I realize this more everyday). Knowing that you took YOUR time to make and foster new relationships, dedicate some of it to art, and gave tons of support.. KUDOS to you!!
Congratulations on this accomplishment!
I would send you flowers.. because you deserve them :-D ... but I can not due to your anonymity.. so you'll just have to enjoy ours we have sitting on our island in the kitchen.
Enjoy your day off! hehe.
Hahaha it's better to receive these beautiful virtual flowers anyway, I'm a whimsical person who feels sad when the plant start to wither and die. At least these will stay yellow and beautiful forever.
Yes, it is super satisfying. Even now it still feels unreal and it gives me happiness and contentment. And the fact that I actually get a lot of extra things on top of just achieving what I planned to do, like learning many new stuff and experiencing new things and befriending so many nice people, it definitely makes me feel like I've been rewarded double or triple fold than just growing as an artist.
Our time is indeed limited, it is a sad fact that I feel almost everytime I look at my doggos. Such ephemeral creatures they are but they are worth the pain and the incoming inevitable sadness when we have to part ways with them. I feel people are similar too but we take our families and friends and our selves for granted because we live longer.
I try not to take people for granted now so if I don't say it enough, let me say it once more, thank you for all the support and kindness that you've given me :).
