I just wanted to say a little apology for being quiet and absent again recently. I've been battling through a rough bout with my mental health these past couple weeks, along with a flare of my chronic pain symptoms. 
          	
          	I appreciate all of your continued patience, as I haven't been able to write or get any new writing out in far longer than I would like. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. It truly means so much and somedays, manages to help lift me up.❤️

@dixondarlin I hope you feel better, I know how touch mental health can be as I struggle with it myself. If you ever need to vent or say anything I am always here to listen and help dear friend! Take your time on writing, but most of all take care of yourself and know your health comes first! I hope we can talk more and have a bit more of happiness with you! Never give up! ❤️

Yes! Time for me to remember that moving forward can feel like going on an adventure, if we choose to see it that way. :-)

As 2024 comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. 
          
          Thank you for supporting me through all of the struggles and hardships this year has brought, for encouraging me to continue in my writing and in life, for believing in me when I haven't had the ability to believe in myself. 
          
          Thank you for being patient with me as my writing has slowed and the updates have dried up over the year. For continuing to read my work and for believing that the stories I create mean something and hold even an ounce of worth. 
          
          Thank you for seeing me. Hearing me. Embracing me and my voice and who I am. Thank you for being a safe, comforting space of kind hearted, beautiful souls who lift me up and share in the things I love. 
          
          Thank you for helping me through this year. Thank you for your words of generosity and kindness that have done more for my heart than you'll ever truly know. Thank you for keeping me going, for being there and for believing. Thank you for everything.❤️ 
          
          I am so truly grateful for the community here and the wonderful people I have connected with that I can now call dear friends. I am thankful for each and every one of you.❤️
          
          Here's to more kindness, writing, positivity and love in the new year!❤️

@dixondarlin Happy new year!! ❤️ I am so proud of you this year, your resilience, your dedication and love for writing is something I will never stop admiring. You’ve achieved so much, more than you think. 
            
            Thank you for being such a genuine and kind friend to me this year. I’ll never forget it. I hope 2025 brings more than your heart desires, I know it’ll be your year. Enjoy this time, rest and relax, because big things are coming! ❤️

@dixondarlin I may have not met you long enough, but I am looking forward to your writing. I know it’s something I tell myself and I sometimes I even fail myself to follow said thing I say, but overall I will say don’t give up on writing and as much as you feel like it’s not good enough, post it anyway, because we judge ourselves more than what we actually think. You seem like a good and kind hearted person I hope we can connect and communicate in this coming year! I will look forward to the more things you write! I hope I can also look at your writing and take inspiration! Have a wonderful start to your New Year! ❤️

I have never spoken to you, but from what I see what you write on Starlights posts, I can tell you are very good friend and person. I hope you also had a Merry Christmas and spent it well with loved ones and family. If you ever wish to talk my board is always open.

as a christmas gift to you all this year, instead of a new christmas themed piece of writing, I wanted to share a little writing secret I've been holding onto with you all instead!
