The Beginning

Check this https://theprose.com/post/775585/the-raise-of-pumpkin

I'm going to admit, this is not an easy path. I recently joined Prose, maybe around 3 months ago. I was looking for a community and search how to monetize my content. You know the rest.

Everything happened quickly. I was already into another platform and told myself to upload every day, not knowing that it will take a toll on my mind and body while I just started to write in here.

So I decided to take a break for a week or two. But something else coming up. I need to return home to visit my family. Then I have to return back to the country where I live to taking care of my document. It was like, almost never ending "exams". Very challenging.

But, we all know that life is like a wheel. It always spins. It might sound cliche, but I would like to say, everything that happened has a meaning. The thing we thought was horrible might turn into something joyful. And the reason why our days were so rough might be to prepare us the best rewards we can imagine. Although, I'm one of you that also prefers to have happy life ever after. That is not just possible, my friend. We need some challenge sometimes.

Now that I feel like I'm ready to return and continuing my life the same as I leave it 3 months ago, except the everyday posting, I think I begin to open the rewards one by one.

I checked my email today, and I found an invitation to join the Emerald Lounge. Also, yesterday, I received and invitation to read my poem in public next week. So excited!!!!

This gonna be my first time reading my poem in public. Honestly, I don't know what I should do or which poem I should read. I need to prepare many things and a lot of practice.

Thank you so much for Prose for becoming a new home for me. Also, thank you to all people that begin to or already following me. I appreciate all your support. I hope I can satisfy your crave of many words in any forms. And I'll try to stick with my schedule this time.

Oh, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for everyone!
