    I can't tell you enough how much your candidness means to me. There is strength in your sincerity. "I take things too seriously"-I have felt that all my life, as well as confusion over the lack of seriousness of others. I try to take pride in who I am, but I do notice the gap, and there are days when it is discouraging. Your words and perseverance are emboldening for those who share light hints of what you experience. Thank you for sharing with us in all of your videos.
    I love your handle, by the way. It makes sense immediately to me and rings true. Perhaps this is because I've dealt with many writers who don't read and have felt perplexed by that lack of interest in their craft. It is great that you are not merely a poet who writes but one who reads to write, who cherishes in the sound and beauty of others' efforts.

    Thanks for sharing this vulnerability. You’re a treasure! I love how you’re trying to challenge binary thinking. It’s not easy at all and we all have those internal biases to greater or lesser degrees. It’s been great joining the booktube community with you 😁

    I think you're doing really well with the tech stuff, and I'm glad you chose to brave through that barrier because otherwise I'd never have met you and Billy. This is the second time I've been tagged on this so I think better get it to!
    You should make a video about the importance of reading contemporary voices , I am always puzzled by writers who don't read.

      Odd, isn't it? I love writing because I adore reading. Reading always comes first. We're all a curious bunch, I guess. Thanks, Emily. Can't wait to see what you do with this tag.

    Loved not only our answers but, your explanations to your answers.
    I’m agnostic and I LOVE talking about religion, spirituality, and science. I’ve noticed some people I don’t like that.
    I loved hearing you talk about your Billy! What a wonderful thing to have a dog that can make you feel safe.
    Do you have a favorite poet??
    I’m 2 videos in and I’m loving your content! I’m so glad you commented on my video so I could find your channel.

      Favourite poet: I have many 'No 1's'. I have quite a few videos on poets I especially love: Australian, UK, Irish & USA. My favourite is usually whoever I'm currently reading.
