RE: When the shadow falls

You certainly don't write like you didn't make it past high school, and was self taught. You make of us who have gone through high school feel a little less when it comes to putting words together, haha.

But it's great though, I'm sure the passion and determination led you to where you are now. Over the years you've learnt to improve and perfect the art(even though you're not a perfectionist) of writing.

@galenkp there's something about you that inspires me,and for sure I'll continue to improve myself each day. I'm just a youth but I feel rubbing minds with people like you would help build me.

Thanks for sharing

I left high school as they had nothing further to give me. In fact my year 12 English teacher told me (in front of the whole class) that I'd never amount to anything. I wore it like a badge of honour.

Anyway, I'm a big advocate of surrounding oneself with the right people; it's the influences one has around them that will add value or take it away and so spending time with the right people is critical. Rubbing minds, as you say is just one way to do so. Seems you're on the right track.

I guess a lot of great minds have been told that by their teachers and still on still they always amount to nothing ordinary, but end up becoming successful in their own ways. That's just how this thing ends up unfolding. That badge made you a lot better.

True that, these influences go a long way in shaping who the individual becomes. I hope to continue on this track for as long as possible.

Thanks for the reply

I hope to continue on this track

Follow that track forever; it will never stop delivering positive results.

Thanks for the advice my friend 😊
