I'm not even sure who bothers to read this, but I think some closure is in order, at least for me. To my dear friends who still remember me:
I know I've been away for too long. I needed time to reinvent myself. I'm not quite the same person I was; not quite so much the poet, not quite so young as I was both in mind and heart. I've since found more stability, learned to internalise my insecurities rather than externalising them, wanting to express and be heard. That was the reason behind my poetry. That was also the reason behind using social media, which I've basically sworn off now. I'm not sure if I'll still write publicly; but if I do, it will be on a new account, and it won't purely be poetry. I'm tempted to delete this account, but found it carried sentimental meaning to me. Yet it's for that very reason that I'm leaving it behind; I'd like to leave the past where it is.
So! May luck arrange our reacquaintance should I choose to write again. All the best in love, life and success!
Sincerely,
Ashley.
