Dear Natalie Hi! How are you? It is I, it is Zerlin. From the messy table of her home, who have three kids and a husband, with two dogs, namely, Sophie and Breana. I've been reading your book for how many months now but I haven't finished it yet. The thing is, whenever I read a paragraph, I am prompted immediately to write something inspired by it, related or unrelated. And it makes me wonder at the wonders of everything you wrote. How come I seem to have known those for a long time? Yet officially I only knew them when I read you. So thanks, Ms. Natalie. For taking a stand and making me realize that everything is indeed the case. However, it may take me even until forever before I reach your concluding chapter. Still, I think I have to fight the urge to write when reading you so I will be able to finish your book then just go over it whenever I need to. As you said, we are all interconnected. We get mixed up with all the voices we heard, the books we read, the songs we listened to, and the people and things around us. Sometimes, I don't recall anymore from whom or where I should credit my knowledge for something. I owned them all that I can't distinguish anymore which came from him or her or wherever it came from. I recently signed up with read.cash, PublishOx, and noise.cash where I could at least voice out the overflowing thoughts inside my head. But I'm still not as fearless as I should be. I always try to follow rules on platforms. I also have a blog site which is at WordPress.com but self-hosted thru BlueHost. I've given up on SiteGround and it breaks my heart that I can't maintain all my blogs. Oh it hurts so much letting go of all my domain names like realizinglifegoals.com, busymath.help, messedupwriting.com, coldthump.com, and so on and so forth. They are expiring or say, already expired and I wish I could retrieve all those and put them in a vault to be used when I wanted them out. But I still have so much debt to pay and keeping them might take a fortune out of me. So I am just currently maintaining free sites and only zerlin.website and busymath.com. I do hope no one will ever buy those domain names I bought. I still remember one time when I simply gave up on writing just because of minor resistance. It almost took my heart away that I cried upon thinking about my life without it. The chegedeg on my laptop, sleeping very late, and all those connected to it, I missed them every moment. But then I had to decide and took them all back. I once and for all made it clear to everyone in the house that no one dares question what I do. Except perhaps if it becomes detrimental. Now, I get to write when I wanted to or when I'm free like a bird. Ms. Natalie, forgive me for always borrowing many of your sentiments but we share the same most of the time. Or should I say, about 95 percent of the time. I hope someday, I'd be able to put into action all the dreams or plans I am aspiring for. Not the typical publishing as an author but someday somehow, I will create something extraordinary which may have been very ordinary to many. I so love your book which I obtained thru my virtual friend who happens to be a book lover, in love with books over people. Though of course, all those books are written by people. That friend, Ms. Natalie, believed in my writing and always took the chance to encourage me when I was always doubtful of myself. And I'm thankful. I recently learned to never take glory for myself but should give all to Him, who is greatest of all. I keep bugging Him to lend me all the things I needed and I always had them. So I keep praying He will also always be with me until I transit from this curve I'm in to a better and wider financial space. I have decided to pray with a group of church leaders and I am appreciating the essence of tithes. I have given mine just last Sunday for this month's pay and I miraculously still have something with me today. How wonderful is His Name, Ms. Natalie. From here, I will have to stop and come back for a part 2 for this one. This is rather abrupt but I guess this is just how it will be. For now.

Downvoting, good or bad? **I'm honestly confused** that my article (https://read.cash/@Sorenized2/fudgeling-as-usual-8fa899bd) got downvoted. For whatever reason, I don't understand the purpose it served. Is downvoting meant to boo a budding writer like ourselves? Or is it done when a reader fails to connect with author? Or is it because the article really sucks? I could go on guessing but I guess further that I won't ever be able to fathom this dreadful thing. Are we losers if we react to things like these? I'm seriously outwitted. It was rather a natural response for my case. But who wouldn't feel bad about it? You, will you feel good when downvoted? When watching YouTube videos or reading articles here or any platform that has the thumbs down button, I can't help but wonder why I see numbers beside it, meaning that there always be those who press it. ***Maybe, it may just be how things are.*** Oh well, if that's how you, who downvoted, regard my work, then I should at least thank you for taking the time to press the thumbs down button. You are very much commended for your diligence. At the same time boo to you for your cowardice. But I shouldn't be reacting like this in the first place. But I really can't help it. It really sometimes dements us to learn that others have nothing more to do than spread malice and toxicity. ***Or maybe, I'm just misunderstanding things.*** I wish to challenge the icon to be defended by developers. Is it a contest of hardheartedness to determine who wins in the end? Who persists rather in the end? Who will stay no matter what? I'm not really that vocal when it comes to matters like this but again, I really can't help it. ***Or maybe, I'm just the close-minded here.*** Now that I have at least blurted out my thoughts, let me calmly tell you, go ahead, press what makes you happy. You have all the freedom in the world. Once again, thanks for liking (or unliking). Either way, you've done some act for my article and that is already a big thing (good or bad). Whoever you are, God bless you. ***So what are your thoughts about downvoting? Any logical or sound explanation?***

@Sorenized2

Instead of downvoting, honestly give your thoughts and be heard. May you? Courage not cowardice, disdain, and contempt. But hey, thanks! At least I have egg to eat for breakfast.

Fudgeling as Usual There stands the table, sturdy and of medium height. And the chair that pairs with it. On top is a laptop enough to draw her to the place. She sits to show she is working. But opens the canvas then write. 'Attend to the child,' she says to another in the house. For she is working. But not really. When someone peeks to see what she's doing, she points her cursor to a window that shows some sort of work material. And she goes on with it so that everybody will see she's working. The night creeps in and she's unready for the evening meal. She feels guilty so she shuts down the monitor then rushes all she could. A meatloaf just to have something for the night. Unhealthy, she scolds herself. But shrugs then promises to do better the next day. Morning comes then husband leaves for work. Then all promises sworn the previous days are made to be forgotten if not broken. As if the canvas consumed all of her. Her eyes wander through the clatters of the days prior to this day, then before that and before that and before that. How many days has it been since the broom last touched the floor? The laundries are stinky, needs to be washed right away or be thrown and be useless forever. The sink can't hold anymore spoon or fork. It pleads for someone to do something with it. These house chores' halting her work, she thoughts. 'Topsy-turvy. I need someone to work on my home,' she cries. Then reflects and prays for the better. 'Dear God, only you can do help me with my laziness. I will do my work right. Forgive me father for my lack of discipline. I will do better than ever.' **Lessons:** Set priorities right. Be firm with your resolves. Get things done immediately. Do not procrastinate. Rest if you must but be mindful of your schedule. Do your work and do not fudgel. Do not imitate the woman above.
