RE: 1st Steemiversary - A year of hard lessons, heartache, and healing!
Happy Steemiversary, my friend! I'm sorry to hear about what you went through :( But, I believe that we emerge as better people after terrible experiences, and I just know that you will be able to honor the ones you have lost by carrying their souls with you as you journey forward. It must be hard losing so many people in a short span of time, but I know you'll power through it.
I like how you put it, one year is nothing in the grand scheme of things but a lot can happen in a matter of minutes. It's all about perspective, and we don't have to bend to the viewpoint of others. Those are great lessons you pointed out, and I agree with all of them, from experience. Life should take precedence every time, and compassion is key to resolve any conflicts.
Now that you're back, I have faith that you will get back on track in no time. I apologize if I spaced with the Congressional Circus, I'll view them in a bit. I hope you get your Terra Damnata series and the 20-year poetry under way soon :D
Thank you @jedau! You are much appreciated. We can definitely emerge as better, more knowledgeable, hopefully more compassionate people after ordeals. We don't feel the losses so deeply if we don't care. So, it's hard and painful, sad that the world has lost, and yet as you said, they're now on the journey with me a part of my heart.
Please take your time. This is the blockchain, my friend, they're not going any where! :D Slow and steady. I'll get caught up. Right now, Terra Damnata is on the website I built for it. I'm looking at options for porting it over or for embedding steemit into the blog. Haven't quite figured out the best route there, in time.
It seems you've been, busy. I'll catch you in the next comment ;)
I think you could just make a new post about it here. Just mention that you pasted it from your website so that you can avoid the ire of Steem Cleaners :) Seeing it all in one place would bring it some spotlight.
I think it would be received well here. Or, at least, I hope. Everything in time. :P
I love the work that steemcleaners and cheetah bot do. Although, I've seen cheetah links appear on templates for contests, etc., I don't mind that. I always check the cheetah link and use it to decide if someone's stolen work. "I flag thieves!"
I know it would. Way better than any of the work I put out there for sure! :D
Thanks for the compliment, but don't knock you, you're better than you think!
