Childhood was not merely lived—it was bestowed. Felicitous, radiant, and whole, it remains the orchard I still carry inside.

An absolutely beautiful read full of senses and a sense of place. Thank you for taking us there.

“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”

Hey, writing really is healing, and I’m so happy to have found kindred spirits here. Everyone I’ve crossed paths with has been so kind—Lilli even gifted me a year’s membership. How sweet is that

Btw new post!

For no two places exhale the same perfume.

I love the cadence and the poetic nature of this writing.

Personally, I'm a field, an open spot embraced by the horizon. Any direction mine to choose.

Heya, I just want to express my gratitude to everyone who takes the time to leave such thoughtful, heartwarming, and constructive feedback.

It acts as a beautiful reinforcement.

It teaches what a proper review should look like.

And for someone like me, working as a freelance writer, these reviews multiply my chances manyfold.

So yes—thank you, truly

Grief-Recovery, I know that's available, but I need to find the link, again.

Hey, thanks for sharing. That is really kind of you. Plus, I have just posted the piece the usual way.
So far, I cannot find mental health awareness groups on WDC, but I have found good help on YouTube for things I care about, including narcissistic abuse. His name is Jerry Wise. I find him to be encouraging as a rule..

Spiritually and in all other ways, Jesus is my best help. (John 14:6, KJV) I often share His encouragement and wisdom with my readers.

I know that not everyone believes as I do, but I pray that something I've written here will be helpful to you.

Hey, added a new piece. Give it a read, and constructive feedback is always welcome!

Is there a platform where one can get paid for writing? Just curious! Please let me know if such a thing exists. Thank you.

Here is a place to begin looking. https://writers.work/qualify

I am needing the same thing. I am beginning my research to answer this question, too. I typed, "online writing jobs" into the Google search window.

The link was one of my first suggestions from Google.

Keep me informed of your success. Maybe we can both answer this question. *Smile*
