Hi Eric! So glad that you're still here!
If only. But at least we can carry the experience with us :0)

Edit: Just saw your latest post... obviously I understand having been on a break myself. Sad though, imagining this place without your beautiful spirit in it. Glad we have other means to stay in touch!

Thank you, my friend! You've been missed! Things were just beginning to feel a little stagnant, genuine engagement has been dwindling for a while now. I think all of this bickering and drama lately is affecting us more than we know. We'll see if I feel differently after this time away.

On the bright side, I'm going to use this break from Steemit to take some writing courses. I'm taking a short story course by Joyce Carol Oates now and am loving it. It feels so good to take a deep dive into learning again. It's rekindling the spark.

Please keep in touch!

That's awesome! Sometimes we need to step back to allow room for new things, this I know! I'd love to read the stories that spring out of those courses!

I’m learning so much already! This is exactly what I needed to rekindle the spark.
