Happy Hive-versary! 1/3rd of your life?! That's crazy to think about. It's been great getting to know you over the years!

I often lament about those bloggers, like @dreemit, who've passed on and so many others who've just left the platform and I've lost touch with. There aren't many originals (circa 2016-7) left. I think a lot of people feel so passionately about this place they allow their emotions to get the best of them and rage-quit.

I've had thoughts, just this year, about taking a break myself but I haven't yet. This place has become such a great creative incubator I can't imagine what my writing would even be like without it.
