A free-form piece of inconsequence for no reason other than to purge my bad feelings, but the Rod Stewart song is a definite goodie.

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.

I came across this post https://shopping-feedback.today/journal/why-i-write-for-vocal-media%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E, where you are mentioned. You had a direct impact on someone and helped them open up to a whole community. I hope we can read more from you. :)
Do not disappear, friend! Your caring nature and creative storytelling bring so much to Vocal, and to our community! This piece is no exception, honest and relatable. Great job! (Maybe a "scoundrel" but not an impostor. I read that story, too.π)
Don't disappear, Mike -- we love you! These feelings - at least to me - are relatable. β€οΈβ€οΈ We cannot let imposter syndrome win!
Nooooo, please don't ever disappear! Vocal won't be Vocal without you π₯Ί
No no no.... Imposter syndrome shall not win. This will not be your last post on Vocal or anywhere...
Excellent work! I love how you ended it too!
