Dear Valsa! So heartfelt. I can feel the weight of those emotions in your brief yet impactful expression. The ideas of drifting and drowning in dullness truly captures the struggles of feeling lost and despondent. Your ability to convey such depth in just a few words is truly powerful. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

When they go away, Valsa, you will undoubtedly experience a hole in your daily routine. I hope you're doing great, and best of luck in the contest!

Friendships, love connections when they fall apart, are very difficult to deal with. One feels betrayed...but, there can be a host of other personal reasons, that we are not privy to. People are complex as you know. Interesting read.

OK, this confirms it, I completely misunderstood the contest directions (I have TBI (brain injury) and often fail to fully comprehend requirements. I didn't realize it had to be specifically about friends. I did think pickles and blue cheese had to mention both, but the winning one mentioned neither. And w/o u I would have goofed the kid contest. Confused, I live. BUT your monoku is a beautiful delivery of feel and I didn't misunderstand that! CayCay
