You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I read this on my phone so am now coming back a fair bit later to upvote and drop you a comment hehe. I really should consider putting key chain on my phone so I can log in to Ecency, upvote and comment directly when I lie awake at night sometimes surfing posts from the comfort of my bed 😂The thing is, I use Gina to visit posts and it goes to peakD. I use Friday too sometimes so that could work I guess... I'm rambling !LOLZ

I loved your post! See I got there in the end hehe. He sounds like a very interesting character, your teacher. A funeral director - what the heck? It sounds like he was able to live out his own passion eventually among the living. You know.... the ones that inspire and make us nervous about failure... the teachers that challenge us, push us to our perceived limits, and guide us through them, sometimes with gentle encouragement, sometimes with a kick up the ass... ROFLLLLL.... but always with the best intentions - they are the ones we remember and look back on with the greatest fondness... because they are the ones who truly make a meaningful impact on our lives. My language teachers did that for me at school. English, Afrikaans and French - I loved all three... they were intelligent, approachable, and challenging! I am so happy... and I mean more than so happy... like super duper happy that he helped you to identify and hone your ability to write so intelligently, sensitively, and beautifully... he lit a fire and taught you to sustain it. And you have continued to develop and hone it yourself over the years. Hmmm.... now I want another Dreemie fiction... sigh (I may just have to add that to my daily list! hehe💗) !LUV !LADY

hahaha he was so great. but i didn't appreciate him fully until i wasn't terrified by him anymore hahahahahaha

and i think you don't have to download keychain for your phone - you can just download ecency as an app on your phone and then log in once
and then you're good. i think
hahahaha

he really did light that fire. there were so many rules to learn and methods to practice. but the thing that made me REALLY think holy cow... i think i actually can do this... was in the second semester of the year - everyone had to write a play - and then act it out with friends! hahahahaha

freaking wild!!!

mine had a really snarky rebellious defiant girl - with a feisty relationship with her mom.

I played the girl - and he asked me if the role was typecast ROFLLLLLLLLLL see?!?!?!? LOL

and then he just glared at me, with this hint of brash amusement in his eye. and I dont know what i answered. but yeah - i think he was always actually WAITING for the ballsier students to play back with him. but it wasn't fun for him unless they stepped up on their own hahaha

i realized it too late. cuz i would have had some words for him ROFLLLLLLLLL

That drabble article is incredibly difficult. Can't you make a easy world-building contest requiring +4000 words or something similar? Hope you're doing well. Have a great weekend.

I just busted up laughing 🤣🤣🤣

I need to catch up on your blog !LOLZ... I see you posting prolifically and I can't keep up with everyone... and if every post is 4k words... FELIX!!! 😂 But I shall come and find out what I have missed these past few weeks... I had my own little break from Hive, so I'm playing catch-up all around.

So, are we gonna see an entry from you this week? hehe... I mean c'mon... it's only 100 words... a walk in the park for you... ROFLLLLL

But yep those drabbles are not easy!

Now... world building... seems like a cool idea for a WOTW theme 😉

I am doing well now thanks!! And the sun is shining - I think summer has arrived on my side of the pond. Happy weekend to you too, my friend !LUV !ALIVE !PIMP

I am oddly posting a lot compared to my past progress.

Everything changed after spine surgery. I didn't want to start drinking again when I woke up. I see the liquor bottles at the supermarket and am not even tempted to pick one up.

It's concerning in a way because now the images don't stop. I have to write, or they build up. The writing since I've recovered has been almost therapeutic.

After the surgery, I lost almost 30 pounds and kept it off. My wife says I'm a changed man. A marriage teetering on collapse is now...loving? Hard to believe. Women...sheesh. The way she looks at me now, as opposed to before, is like night and day.

I see my neurologist in a couple of weeks to validate that spinal fusion has occurred. Once he clears me, I'll be able to build my body back up again.

AND STILL...seems like an easier task than writing some drabble...

I hope you had a great weekend!

This makes me want to cry. I'm so happy, Felix🤗I pray that the op was a complete success 🙏💗 and that you and your wife enjoy having that loving feeling back so much that neither of you ever goes back to what it was... This is just wonderful!

You know... physical pain can be so debilitating. When my hubby was struggling a lot with his back pain (before he started yoga) I could always tell when it was bad. He would get snippy and short with me... for no apparent reason... and I would discover a short while after each time that he was struggling with his back... At one point he was drinking whisky every day and the odd beer too and was fairly overweight... but when he started yoga and a cycle of improved flexibility, it led to him being able to walk more, which led to jogging and improved fitness which led to running and now cycling and a loss of 30 kgs... his back pain became something he could manage and no longer has him collapsed on the floor unable to move. Now he hardly ever drinks. We've both changed things about our responses to each other and our marriage is so much more peaceful, mutually supportive, and collaborative for having done so.

And of course... the writing... the passion... when you have no pain you are so much more free to focus on what brings you joy. Your energy can be directed into that instead of pain management. Honestly, sometimes He does so much more than we asked for or could have expected. Be blessed.

And you don't have to write a drabble hehe... I just like to tease. But if you fancy giving it a shot... you know we'd love to see something from you.

Much love 💗!LUV !ALIVE !PIMP
