I unfollowed you. (A Love Letter)

Despite it’s title, this is a love letter.  To you.

You see, love letters are supposed to start with confessions, so here goes: I unfollowed you.

To be fair, I unfollowed everybody.  There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to add you back without re-following as you comment.

I know you have questions.

Why did I do it? I didn’t do it on purpose.  How did it happen? I have no idea.  Why do I hyphenate re-follow but not unfollow? I have no idea, but at least I’m consistent.

We could do Q&A all day (and hey, one day we might), but for now the point is… I miss you.

Even though it’s been only a day, and I don’t even know if you’ve posted anything, I miss you.  Please send me an email, or comment with all your various blogs, or do something so that I can find you again because I love you to the moon and back.

Yes, you, my lovely reader.

It is your friendship that encourages me to write, and your readership that pushes me to write something worth reading.

Just last weekend, the lovely editors at the Trifecta Writing Challenge picked my piece, Hollow-Boned, as the second place winner.

On the 1st, WordPress picked my apocalyptic short story, An Unwashed Future, to be Freshly Pressed.  It’s my second Pressed honor– the last one being an entirely different sort of thing.

Thank you to the Powers-That-Be for those recognitions!

I am in awe of these honors because spotlights often bring new friends into our cozy circle.  Still, though, I am more amazed when I hear from you.  You aren’t grading my post on grammar or its ability to reach a large audience.  You aren’t required to sift through entries.

No, you’ve chosen to read my post.  If you comment or like, your thoughts are based on whether or not it moves you in some way.  The simplicity and honesty of that readership moves me.

“Gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”
– G.K. Chesterton

None of those recognitions would have happened, or would have mattered, without you.   You are wondrous, frightfully wondrous.

My happiness is doubled by you.

So just in case you forgot, or just in case you’re new here,  I’ll speak plainly for the important part:
I am grateful for you, and I love you to the moon and back.

Much love,
Rara

P.S. – As always, if you have any suggestions, questions, or constructive criticisms, send them my way.  If you need a favor, or have a request, just ask.  If there’s anything I can do to double your happiness, I’d love to help.  You can always contact me here or direct to my email, rarasaurdinosaur@gmail.com.
