For me, you were never away, and so glad you're back creating even more, we're all better because of that.

I was excited to read how this continued, and it was even more than expected! Loved the vivid beginning and then even more being able to SEE the colorful splash. I hope it continues to bring many colors into your life and the ones who read you.

I did my Readwise review after reading this essay and had to come back with this quote you might also identify with:

"As writers, we create false ideas about our identity. The ego messes with us. It causes us to subconsciously associate our words with who we are because they convey our feelings, perceptions, and mental processes."
