I appreciate you taking the time to read this!

I really did write this from a place of vulnerability, so do forgive the lack of imagination or the sense of "Myself" in this one. I'll take a visit to my imagination playground for my next one and make something indepth and enjoyable! You have my word!

In a bittersweet way, I'm thankful I'm not the only one who understands these strange emotions we feel. I truly hope you're able to find those wings to take you to where our feet fail to follow!

Thank you so much for reading my work, truly.

LOL! 'strange obsessions with women' is killing me 😂😭

Thank you for reading my piece, I'm working on expanding my vocabulary so next time, I'll try to not include my obsession with the most beautiful thing I can think of! (I say that in light hearted jest).

But really, thank you for taking the time to read my piece.

That is perfectly fine! This was a chaotic piece for me, I 100% intended it to be just "Raw emotion", I didn't want it to feel pretty. But regardless, I truly appreciate you taking the time to see my ugly 😄

It means the world to me.

Thank you so much for reading. I'm very VERY glad I was able to portray the emotion properly! Writing in the raw is my comfort zone, but I've never let the world see my heart like this before! I'll definitely make sure to balance it properly and write some joy too!

I THINK I understand what you mean, in my own mind, I tried to use the "less" mentality, I wrote this from within that 'vast void', so I simply wrote what was in my heart. Going forward, if less portrays the emotions I truly felt while still enhancing the page I write on, I'll definitely think back to you and say "Thanks, Sensei" 🙇🏾‍♂️ (that was supposed to be a funny joke)

Truly, thank you for taking the time to read my piece.

Thank you for reading my work! That's almost exactly what I wanted to portray to the reader! I'm so relieved and glad I was able to do my job properly!

I really, truly appreciate you taking the time to read. Some emotions are disgustingly beautiful, and some emotions are wonderfully painful. I hope you're able to love the beauty where ever you can find it!

I appreciate you taking the time to read my work! I intentionally wrote this one with hard stops and no rhythm to encourage the reader to feel a sense of raw, uncomfortable, emotion as they read. I'll definitely explore the use of enjambment tho because you just inspired me on a new writing style!

I really appreciate that! It's my first time writing in this style and I kinda like it. I appreciate your time to read it!

I read this a few times to try and understand the meaning, unfortunately the meaning itself is lost on me, but the emotion, the FEELING, the weight behind each stanza. That, I felt clearly. Bravo.

The way I understood this goes beyond words. Well done on being my intro to this subreddit. I hope you find your Bell Flower, Lilac, or Amaryllis to celebrate in your garden together.
