Isn't it interesting that (some) male writers so confidently call their writing an 'act of service', while (many) female writers worry about theirs being overly 'self-centred'...???
I love your piece❣️ Well written, honest, capturing a moment in an intimate-relationship-turned-sour story, which so many of us can relate to. Thank you for sharing 💕🙏
I like your observation. It does sound like something a man would confidently say rather than a woman. Reminds me of how women have a tendency to use that lilt in their voice so that everything they say reads as a question.
Thanks for reading, Veronika. I'm glad you liked it. 😊
Thank you, and thank you for listening! It was fun to read it, and just so you know, it has taken me years of practice to read pieces like I'm talking to a friend.
This was great, and it was fun to be able to listen! I think you can upload it as a voiceover and not as just an audio upload though, and that will pin the play bar to the bottom of the app for listeners
I loved this essay, which certainly felt like an act of service. Artful and innocent at the same time. By the way, I couldn't help wondering what you did with the necklace. 🙂
It's early morning here and it was so eerie listening to you reading this piece like a chum dropped in for a chat. Such honesty and so much to relate to here - I think becoming angry over nothing or being QUICK to anger (usually over nothing) is THE most tedious attribute in a man and it seems to be somewhat rampant. Yours is a tale of triumph and I especially love your clever ending. Really very glad to be here with you today!
Thanks, Sue. I was inspired by Jeffrey Streeter to get myself motivated and do a recording. And I wanted it to very much feel like I was chatting with a friend, so I'm glad to hear that came across.
Yes, anger is ugly. I'm assuming it's repressed emotions, mixed in with disgust and contempt. Ugly all around, but we all, I'd imagine have to deal with it in some degree. I wonder how other people cope? Some folks just naturally don't, which is remarkable.

Ahhh, I still love this piece--and it's such a joy to hear you read it. You're a great reader, Lani!

OH, is that the difference? I read "voiceover" as an AI generated voice. Thanks, Jake.
Loving these posts!
Thanks, Heather! ❤️

My mom sold it. Tee hee.
And thanks so much, high compliment coming from such a wordsmith. Your audio inspired me to get my act together and get mine out, too.
I love your mom for that 😅
