My late Mother used to say “A life passes by too quickly.”
Yet some of us attempted to end it sooner.
It is not a sign of weakness,
quite the opposite
We tried to end it as living became unbearable
Too painful.
We had no more strength to fight the demons
Piercing anxiety lived within.
Nothing seemed to help
Until the day that I promised my mother and family
That I will let nature run its course.
Not interfere with it.
Peace and serenity

I had a feeling. You haven’t posted much lately. I can only say I am here in case you want to talk. I understand how hard this can be.
It’s commendable that you are trying to regain control but don’t be too hard on yourself. We all are here.

Hey,
I’m working on my debut poetry book and preparing a mailing list. Would you like me to add your e-mail address please? If so, can you share it with me?
I don’t plan to do it like hard core promotion, I will be e-mailing you privately not through any software.
I will just inform you when it’s available and when there is some huge fluctuation in price (sale etc.), as on WordPress reader, posts get lost in stampede.
I won’t be mailing you more than 4 to 5 times a year, and that’s max. Promise!
And if you want it to share it privately you can do that through contact form on my blog.
Thank you 🙂
