            that's totally understandable,  I've been busy myself & catching up on people is something i need to start learning as well —  life is hectic but still remember to rake care of yourself, drink water & stay hydrated, take breaks & take some time for yourself. i consider poetry to be my life saving hobby when things get busy :">
            
            ive been good, just busy with training & internships & sleeping ofc ( + trying to catch up with new shows on netflix [ if that includes to being busy] ). other than that life is good at the moment ( till July 10th, when i will have to go back to college  :">  )
            
            you take care as well, love ♡
            sending all the love u deserve  <3

@ORACLC-50 hi, it's been a while since we've talked. i'm doing kinda alright  (i guess); thanks for asking. 
            
            life's a bit hectic right now, so i am not getting much time to read others' (amazing) works or write (and post) new stuff. 
            
            anyway, how've you been? i'm missing reading your beautiful poems terribly. but i promise to catch up with 'em as soon as possible.
            
            take care,
            s.

@novelistASH Thank you very much! I really appreciate your amazing comment :)

@DarrianMackenzie Thank you!!

Outstanding! It's worth the wait if you're going to drop sensational pieces like this.

@KaylahDelaney it's my absolute pleasure :)) your poems are beautifully crafted!

@Williamson0 Hi, William!
            
            Thank you so much for your incredibly kind message! I'm genuinely touched that you've been reading my poems and that they resonated with you. Your words are so encouraging, and it’s amazing to hear that you appreciate my work in such a meaningful way.
            
            Pearl is an incredible poetess, and there are so many talented writers out there—I'm just grateful to be a part of this vibrant community. I’m honored by your comparison and thrilled that my poetry stands out to you.
            
            The idea of a poetry reward is so generous and thoughtful! Your support means a lot to me, and I would be more than happy to receive a note of gratitude and a poetry book. It’s gestures like this that make the writing journey so special.
            
            Thank you again, William, for your kind words and encouragement. It truly means a lot to me.
            
            Warm regards,
            Sreeja

@honeytarts Oh my gosh, your message totally made my day! I've read it so many times because it's just so sweet and amazing. Seriously, it's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about my writing. I can't believe you feel that way about my work, especially since I always thought it was a bit of a mess and kind of cringey.
            
            Thank you so much for your sweet words, your support, and for being there. It means the world to me! I loved reading your work as well. Thanks again, and let’s keep cheering each other on! 
            
            Loads of love and best wishes,
            S.

@ORACLC-50 thank you for sharing that with me. i totally get where you're coming from. showing emotions can feel like it makes us weak, but really, it's the opposite. as brené brown says, "vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome." our scars and our pain don't make us weak; they show our strength and resilience.
            
            writing about your upbringing and trauma is powerful. it's a way to face and understand your past. platforms like wattpad are great because they let us share these deep parts of ourselves in a safe space. keep writing and sharing your experiences. those emotions and stories are what connect us and remind us of our shared humanity. they don't make us weak—they make us beautifully human.
            
            p.s. sorry for the super late reply! life's been a bit hectic lately.

anywayss hello, sree <3 forgive me for my late replies!

@seven_hues wow, that is beautiful <3 i too have similar experience with poetry, i am not a great person with emotions & most of the time, i try to ignore them bc ig, i always feel like showing people your emotions would make you weak. i am wrong but that has become an inseperable part of my personality; but i don't think emotions are weak - they are just more evidences to the humanity within you. i started writing poetry touching on the topics of my upbringing, trauma, and the goodness & cruelty of the people i've met thtough my teens. . . & also, for the purpose of art  you are truly brave for writing these hun <3 it's not easy but ig wattpad gives a safe place to express & to share more without feeling judged/ alone.
