This is a beautiful piece and I share your sentiments. Illumination feels like home to me, too. As I shared in previous pieces, I’ve been a ghostwriter on Medium for over a year and I’ve had some “individual” success, but I missed having a sense of connection and community…
From the moment Dr Mehmet Yildiz invited me to join Illumination, it’s like I finally found a new home and safe haven. I was looking for a place where I could share my stories, dreams, and aspirations beyond my published pieces. I wanted to find a place to grow as a writer and a person.
I’ve been exposed to so many different writers like you, Annelise Lords, Gurpreet Dhariwal, Kevin Buddaeus 🦄 Chris Hedges and so many more who’ve helped renew my love of reading poetry and writing. I am so thankful and grateful for the privilege and opportunity to be in great company.
Thank you for saying what so many were thinking…
Be blessed!
