so, i am a really big cheeseball, and every time I receive a message on this blog, I screenshot it and save it for a rainy day when I am feeling stuck or low. Today is one of those days, and I am so thankful for all of you. I am so thankful for others who share their writing/artwork with me, and who share parts of themselves with me by connecting to my writing. I am so thankful for the uplifting, kind, and loving messages I have received from people on here. I am truly humbled and in awe and thankful. ❤ 

OKAY WOAH. so somehow i have made it to my first 500 followers? so that means 500 people were like “oh wow this person’s poetry is reasonably good, enough so that i want to follow them on tumblr.” and that’s such a big blessing and such an incredible concept to me?! I never ever ever thought my poetry would be worth reading, or that anybody would like it. and i just want to thank each and every one of you for encouraging me by following me, reblogging, and liking my poetry. it means so so so so much; more than you will ever know or realize! i love you all, and i am so happy you are able to relate to my poetry or at least find it enjoyable enough to follow me. the whole point of my writing is to express myself and touch others, and it makes me the happiest human on the planet to know i am achieving that in a small way 🙂 

i love you all so much, and thank you for being part of my first 500 followers! you are all so lovely ❤ ❤ 

Looking back, I’m thankful that you hurt me. If you hadn’t, I probably would have stayed.

when you made me cry, I finally realized how bad we were for each other. so thank you for opening my eyes.Â
