Has it been a year already?
Yes. It’s been ONE FULL YEAR since I started writing Hello Universe. What an amazing ride!
Thanks for being a part of this journey with me. Today’s edition is a year-in-review of this newsletter. I started on this journey as a fluke, thinking that if I could do 10 weeks without a break, that would be great. But here we are, 52 weeks in, not a single week missed. Woohoo!
That’s what today’s poem is about. Here we go, in 3… 2… 1!
I sit and write,
I type and type.
Word by word it starts.
I sit and write.
Through noise and quiet.
In tiny little parts.
✍✍✍
I find some time.
I sculpt a rhyme,
about some jokes and memes.
I find some time,
and find that I'm
creating new routines.
✍✍✍
So, thanks my friend!
for reading through.
these poems - fifty two!
And thanks my friend!
I wouldn't do this
if it weren't for YOU!
🙏🙏🙏
