Remember when I created a blog email and endlessly solicited for feedback? \ud83d\ude00 Well, some of my friends \u00a0came through and I’m long overdue to share their words. Needless to say, their emails warmed my heart. Every writer enjoys validation that a message affects readers enough to make them get up and respond, LOL. More than that, though, they cared enough to write back, so this is me saying “Thank you” one more time. \ud83d\ude42 For those who can’t leave comments below, feel free to emai<\/span>l findotitihere@hotmail.com<\/a> instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Steve shared my pain in his reaction to<\/span>\u00a0Was I Wrong?<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I have read this over, and over and still not sure the message i should take from it, personally.This may be because i am in the same boat with you, and the paddles are not working.I can't say goodbye, and mean it or try harder, and not feel the hurt from the past.It is a scary delimma to be caught in between my emotions.I have a million questions for no one, but me and the consistent is,\" why can't i hate you right or love you right?\"\u00a0 I guess wat i have realised is that the power to 'forgive and forget' is divine as well as the will to love, and be loved.It hungers me to love again and let myself out there to be loved again (genuinely this time), but what guarantee do i have that it wouldn't be another version of the same movie.<\/span><\/pre>\n
A friend who’d rather remain anonymous gushed over<\/span>\u00a0Have Faith<\/a>:<\/p>\n
Dear Otiti,\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 This is a very wonderful, educative and inspiring message. I love the way you select your\u00a0<\/span>diction in this particular passage which captures your readers and drops the clear message.\u00a0<\/span>Your message has really inspired me and given me strength towards \u00a0the pursuit of certain ventures\u00a0<\/span>i have dropped due to lack of faith in God and my own ability. I can only imagine how many you\u00a0<\/span>have inspired and given hope with these heavenly inspired blogs. Please keep using your talents to <\/span>inspire and challenge others and most importantly also apply these messages to your life.\u00a0<\/span>I must admit this is one of the most beautiful pieces I have read in ages. Remain blessed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
Ese also had this to say after reading the same post:<\/span><\/p>\n
Miss *woot woot* awesome stuff. Reading this took me on a journey. I absolutely love it. It's definitely worth reading more than once and maybe sharing too *winks*<\/span><\/pre>\n
