I'd love an update of the break up in a few months, see how hard or easy it was, if you found a rebound or decided to go for something else, healthier, not healthy..

Hey! Thank you so much for the feedback and taking the time to read :-)

It's definitely on the writing list to circle back in 90-days, I felt that would be a good time to check in and see if I fell off the wagon by then... I will say... so far, so good - but also, this is HARD lol.

I love your personification of imposter syndrome in this piece...reminds me of a piece I wrote last year entitled "my reintroduction to poetry", basically an apology letter I wrote to poetry for abandoning her and reintroducing myself to her after years of us being apart. Hmmm I wonder if imposter syndrome was jealous of our relationship, poetry and I... and maybe in her envy, she became determined to divide us? I wonder if she knew how powerful we were together and how my soul yearned for her while we were apart. I think maybe imposter knew this and that's why she fought as hard as she did to keep us apart...but unfortunately for this hater, after reading this piece, I've decided to reacquaint myself with poetry and I don't think I'll take her for granted again.

thank you for this <3
