This past week felt like a little rollercoaster ride, climbing slowly from the clouds in my heart to a place where I could see the sun.
It all started when Amiya_desi said, “You can do it too.” He not only gave me a corner to write down my feelings but also encouraged me to write a real article of my own.
In that moment, I felt as if someone had gently pushed me from behind, right up to a brand new diving board. A little scared, but also filled with an excitement I couldn’t hide. He said he understood my strange, pebble-like poems, and that he liked me for who I am. Those words were like a piece of candy melting in my heart, making the whole world sweet.
It’s a wonderful feeling. To be seen, to be believed in… it’s such a warm thing. The small grey cloud in my heart seems to have been brightened a little by this beam of light.
Now, I’m standing on this new diving board, ready to jump. I don’t know what kind of scenery awaits below, but I know he’s down there, watching me.
And that’s enough.
