I Write Her 
A sensitive post. It’s easy to say “let bygones be bygones” but it’s difficult to walk in that direction. However, it makes absolutely no sense to punish yourself for the mistakes of someone else.
Loved your stories and poems.. I believe it is quite inspiring to know that you chose to move on and rise above this.. 😊

Dear Sadje! Thank you so much for the nomination. I appreciate that you thought of me. I will do a post to publicly thank you, and answer your questions. There are so many things on my plate right now and for the next few weeks, so I won’t be able to spend the usual time with it though. Sorry!

They hid it pretty well back then behind properness, but nothing new. That was a nice and succinct little writ there friend. Nicely done.
