Thank you so very kindly, Ramiz! I'm very heartened by your comment.
Writing is something I see myself doing for the rest of my life, and as such, I've been working very, very hard to become as good at it as I can. It's been tough, but every once in a while I get a kind message that validates my journey. This is one of those days.
I'm glad I was able to reach out and in some way touch you, Ramiz. Thank you for reading my writing :)
