Oh thank you, thank you so much for commenting. I really, truly appreciate it. I had given up on receiving any comments. So I must be the one thanking you, really! It is a lovely, very, very encouraging comment! 😃

As for "beautiful talent", that's so sweet of you, but I don't think I deserve such praise. It's a true story, so all I did was, quite imaginatively, tell the tale. No creativity involved. And I really don't think I did justice to what I was trying to capture.

That said, I do kinda like compliments, so I'll accept it, graciously 😆

Thanks again!! 😃You are extremely, incredibly, astoundingly AWESOME!! 😃 😃 😃

Your very welcome! 😃I'm really impressed by your writing to tell the truth and I'm sure that if you continue writing you'll get better at it. It's what happens😃. I love writing myself and all anyone keeps telling me is keep writing. Practice won't make perfect in my opinion because perfection doesn't exist, but, practice will surely make you better which is as close as you can get. 😊

I've written things here also...one thing I think...a poem possibly about a year ago I posted it here. I got comments but then the comments stopped later on. That's no reason to be discouraged. People will comment and they wont...its life. Don't stop what you're doing though...you are good at writing and you should strive to write more...I'm sure you'll write great things =)😳😊

Many things are true stories and its true that sometimes, things we write can't capture all those emotions that are related to that event we are attempting to re create. Nothing beats the real thing. But through writing, we can come close to it, and possibly explore it and play with it in many ways. That must've been some real experience....it sounded so exciting, so exhilirating. What's upsetting though, is that the characters didn't end up together....this match...was not cemented together. Though its depressing...its life. It's real. This is what gives it a real and more believable aspect which I admire you for creating.👏👏👏

Haha look at the long comment I just left you, I must be off of your "Awesome" list and onto your "Oh my gosh she just keeps talking ughhh" list now😆. But thank you, you are very awesome yourself as well ⭐️⭐️

Aaliyah, you're definitely still in my 'Awesome' list!! In fact you just keep getting awesomer and awesomer~~ 😃

Thank you very, very much for all the encouragement. I am really, very touched!! 😳 And I am so grateful that I want to keep saying thanks until you regret having commented! 😆 Seriously, I mean it, thanks, from the bottom of my heart! I will write on, hoping to improve,. Currently, I'm workng a fictional story called 'When you least expect it.' In fact, after reading your previous comment, I was so inspired and motivated that I went and wrote Part 2 and uploaded it! 😃 That's how encouraging you are!! ⭐️ ⭐️

Your thoughts on writing about real things is so true. Words do seem insufficient and hollow at times.. But as you said, writing helps. I hadn't thought about it that way, so thanks for the new, refreshing perspective 😊

And yes, it is sad that we're not together. Because just before he left, it really felt like he was going to ask me out. We had been to the prom, he had taken me out on a lunch date, gotten me a rose. Things were really going well. I was so happy and hopeful 😊 And then he just left, and it all ended. But for as long as he was there, it was beautiful and the beauty of it lives on, transcending time and space. So I'm not that sad now. And we do drop each other a few words on facebook from time to time and call each other on our birthdays 😳

I'm new here so I didn't know about your poem, so thanks for telling about it. I went and read it and I loved it. YOU MUST WRITE MORE!! 😃 I can see that you are not only a talented writer, in terms of style, but also have the depth of thought and perception that is needed for intensely meaningful writings! I insist, really!! 😃 😃 😃 Very, very eager to read more!!

Aww thank you so much!😃

You're welcome anytime. You honestly deserve all the praise and I am so delighted that I inspired you to write the second part to your other story. I will take a look once a get a chance😊

That's nice... that is a very good characteristic to have, to think of that past as a beautiful time. Others would just think of it as something dicouraging or decietful as they did not recieve what they desired most. But it is amazing that you can just take that and make something positive out of it. I give you kudos for that⭐️⭐️

Thank you so much for your encouragement! I am truly touched that you took the time to read it.😊 I have written a lot more which I haven't posted online yet and I continue to write and wish to write more once I get a chance. Thank you for the encouragement, I really truly appreciate it😃 I love your writing by the way...its very nice and sophisticated😃😃

Oh, thank you Aish! So sweet of you to comment. Always very much appreciated!! 😃

Well, life is always not as good as we would have liked it to be. But it's real, unlike our dreams. So it must be appreciated for that, I think. It is what we have.

He didn't actually disappear btw. He went to the UK, but that still means we might never meet again. It's kind of complicated.

The link to my other story is https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/post/25753359

That one's fictitious. Would be nice if you read it, when you have some time, of course! 😊

Thanks again for the comment!
