I fail a lot. I don’t make it every day, or even most days anymore. But that is okay. The point is to train yourself to think a certain way, to express yourself, to process your feelings. This site has helped so much with that, and still it is a safe place for my most complicated, tangled thoughts. The badges and the stats are so helpful, they keep you going. In the beginning. But after a while, you have to let them go. Life changes. It sweeps you on to newer, different, time consuming, and sometimes wordless things. And that is also good. Thank you for being there when I needed you 750, and thanks for being what I need you to be when I don’t.

1,641 Days, 1424,974 Words, and a 1,000 Day streak. I found 750 Words on January 13, 2015 (or, maybe 750 Words found me). This was a time when my life was in turmoil and chaos, and I had no idea what was about to happen. I found this to be a place where I could come and process what was going on, dump all the anxieties and stress out of my brain and on to the “page”, and keep grounded. It became an anchor in my life. It has been here to help me work through problems, celebrate successes, make to-do lists, revisit my past, and plan for the future. It has been life saving. So, on this day that I hit the 1,000 mark streak, I wanted to say thank you to Buster and Kellianne, for making this place available. You guys rock!

Today I am leaving 750 words. It has been a place of amazing discovery, exploration and liberation. It has become a place where I search deep within, face my demons, call out to God and know myself to be loved and forgiven unconditionally.
Out of this I have been encouraged to liberate my inner artist and now I am exploring God through art.
But I have noticed how now I am being unfaithful to 750 words, and my commitment a burden.
Since Jan 2016 I have amassed 13 badges and ‘written’ over 700,000 words – though my writing practice has not been entirely original, some cuts and pastes to achieve the daily goal. Forgive me. And I have recommended this site to many budding writers.
Thank you 750 words for this amazing chapter in my life.
And every blessing and grace to you, the 750 community.
Go well.
