Ik09ParticipantThanks Anita and have a great day ahead! Happy Weekend!
January 12, 2023 at 11:38 am #413654Ik09ParticipantHi Anita,
Not sure which one will work for you but as promised here are the links:

January 6, 2023 at 7:13 am #413282Ik09ParticipantThank you so much Anita <3 I will send the link once it is published and you are a very observant reader yourself! Lots of love to you <3
January 4, 2023 at 10:22 pm #413223Ik09ParticipantYou pump my confidence like anything! Sharing a small part of a poem because I am yet to receive the published copy:
the small chest rose and fell with the greatest strength imaginable,
the doctors fought alongside her until she was momentarily stable,
The battle raged on but in front of the opponent all attempts seemed shoddy,
Her lungs worked hard till there were no more breaths left in that tiny body,
It wasn’t the loss of just one family,
Unheard of ever before-never recorded never billed,
but wiped cities and looted countries in one blow,
the world came together for this terrifying show,
solutions came forth,
but lives were lost,
nobody knows what it was worth,
why the innocent had to pay such a heavy cost?
January 4, 2023 at 9:35 am #413194Ik09ParticipantYeah, I believe I have come in contact with plants of similar nature- Can understand the struggle now. Yeah, I do know the kinda gloves used for pots, oven-based cookware and then there are the ones which are laced with rubber towards the palm area specifically for use in the garden.
Don’t be impressed by the content writing and poet thing- These are side products of writer’s block- you try trying something else but your mind gives you something entirely different. It is frustrating but sometimes something creative is born. I don’t know yet if what I write is good but I am getting paid for it.
January 4, 2023 at 8:25 am #413187Ik09ParticipantVicious blackberries….This made me laugh 😀
January 4, 2023 at 8:23 am #413186Ik09ParticipantI walk but not every day as my work extends into the night sometimes. I would love to however go back to karate lessons- I dropped out after my brown III belt in school. 2019 was the last year when I was very physically active- I had a fixed routine and so I brisk-walked at least 1-2 km every day. Then 2020 happened and then I have been busy. Also, I have also created a secondary source of income for now. I work as a freelance home decor content writer after my office hours. And so, I will have to plan a proper routine after the writing project ends in February.
January 4, 2023 at 7:38 am #413179Ik09ParticipantWow, Farming! It is challenging but also rewarding I believe. I am bad with plants in general, I haven’t explored much but I tried growing a few plants as a teenager I ended up not understanding the hypergrowth and hence had a shrub in my hands extremely soon and then I surrendered the shrub to my mum and then she took care of it. Haha
But I wish you all the very best for this new experience! I am sure your efforts will be better than mine! 🙂
January 4, 2023 at 12:40 am #413167Ik09ParticipantThank you so much, Anita! I will share the link once it is live. How is the new year treating you? Any new plans?
January 3, 2023 at 7:39 am #413109Ik09ParticipantHi Anita, Happy New Year! I am good, been busy with work. But I have news! Since the last time we connected, I came across an opportunity to submit my poems and get them published so I did. I will soon have the hard copy with me and the book will be sold on Amazon at a low price.
Nothing on the marriage front yet but now I am looking forward to having a partner. It does not mean I am over my past relationship but I am not looking forward to comparing my future relationship with my past. I will start afresh.
Life is alright, I made some really good friends who want nothing from me apart from my friendship and my well-being and I have been happy since I met them.
November 6, 2022 at 10:09 am #409698Ik09ParticipantHeyyy tee,
Yeah something like that. He encouraged me for my MBA degree and helped me see my qualities, also encouraged my writing when nobody else did.
I wish him happiness and nothing else.
And tell me about you, how have you been? Is anything troubling you?
November 6, 2022 at 10:07 am #409697Ik09Participantoh, Anita don’t be tensed. I read it and felt good as well.
Do seek a doctor’s opinion on your injury and if you aren’t able to, perhaps ice packs and hot water bags at intervals would help relieve the pain.
I would ping again around Christmas! Sending wishes of love and health to you!
November 5, 2022 at 11:45 am #409669Ik09ParticipantHi Teak,
I am really sorry, I had not been checking the emails of my personal ID as the notifications for this one wasn’t active.
You seem to be correct in all your deductions. Although he is a troubled soul, he somehow fit into my life when we met. Many of my friends say to me as well that you guys were not right and all. But the thing is I needed to experience him when I did. I believe we are meant to meet people at a certain point in time to make certain incidents happen. I would perhaps have no financial standing even now had I not met him.
He hurt me sometimes unknowingly and sometimes knowingly. But I will always remember the laughter and good times. The good times have been great. The bad times have been brief but impactful.
I think less and less of it. My mother also says that time is the best medicine for it all.
November 5, 2022 at 11:34 am #409668Ik09ParticipantHi Anita,
I am great! Took the dream workcation I talked about. It was a 3-week long trip to a coastal district of my country. I cycled around on my e-bike and worked from cafes. It was so much fun exploring beaches, talking to people, and making new friends- some of them tried to teach me swimming too but unfortunately, I could not follow their instructions too well did that stop me from playing pool ball? No!
I do not think a lot about things. I switched my job, and I am getting paid more. Talked to one of the prospective groom candidates my parents chose for a week- did not like him and my parents have been supportive of it. My father pushed a little because he had one of the best jobs in my country but when I made it clear it was a big NO, he agreed.
For now, I am in a good space. Am I healed? No, I feel like I have a lot of demons but I need some more time before I hear them patiently. I want happy experiences for now.
How are you? Have you been good?
July 23, 2022 at 3:59 am #404498Ik09ParticipantHi Tee,
I realised that you were absent due to your health issues so i did not tag you. Please take your time😊
