Thank you Vocal💖

One year of my words

Vocal's heart, a place to grow

Together we shine~

🥰🥰🥰

~~~

I can't believe it has been one year since I joined Vocal—it's crazy!! It only feels like I've been writing on this platform for three or four months! I'm so grateful for all the support the Vocal community has given, and I want to say a big thank you for being very kind, trusting, and open to my art/stories. There was a previous writing platform I joined called "Scribophile" which I didn't realise critique was normalised in this space, but sometimes I felt judged through my work as if it wasn't good enough or too "weird". I remember someone once saying "This deserves to be in the trash, your "imagination" doesn't equalise". I remember responding with "First off that phrase doesn't even make sense, and neither does your mind if you can't comprehend creativity, take yourself out to the trash." I left after that 😅 AND JOINED VOCAL!! Since joining I have met some of the most lovely and purest souls on here. I appreciate the Vocal community for valuing and taking the time to read and understand my art of writing. I truly am very appreciative of the support. I'm so grateful for being a part of this community and want to shout out some incredible people who have deeply supported me!

💖Thank you Vocal community💖

- Dharrsheena Raja Segarran💖 - The first writer who found me, and who I thought was sooo cool. It's like when the popular girl at school invites you over to their table!

    Happy anniversary, Kodah! So glad you decided to join! May the next year be equally great for you. And, Scribophile? They don't sound too nice over there lol.

    A suitable occasion for celebration Kodah, and thank you kindly for the generous acknowledgement! I was certainly struck by your unique and original voice from the beginning, and I look forward to reading each of your new creations!

  • Komalabout a year ago

    Aww, this is such a wholesome celebration of your journey! That haiku at the start? Perfect vibe setter! And honestly, ditching Scribophile for Vocal sounds like the glow-up you deserved—who needs negativity when creativity’s all about freedom? Your gratitude and humor shine through.🤗 Cheers to your year on Vocal and all the amazing art you’re still to create!🎉😍

  • Caroline Cravenabout a year ago

    Wow! Right back at you! Always enjoy reading your work and listening to your music. I started reading this and when I read that someone said your work was trash, I was so cross. I thought, send me their name and I’ll go kneecap them. Nobody should ever say stuff like that. Grr. Anyway so glad you found vocal and I came across your work. Here’s to another year on vocal! Good on you Kodah!

  • Silver Dauxabout a year ago

    Your haiku is so good! So nice of you to give a shout out to all the people who have changed you or helped you... I'm going to take inspiration.

    A nice happy boost to see this. I remember seeing some of your first stories on Vocal and thought they were awesome. You're doing great here, and happy this is such a positive and supportive community.

  • Awww Kodah, come here, I wanna give you a hugeeeee bear hug! Hehehehehehe! I'm soooo happy you joined Vocal! I've said this before, but I'll say it again, the way you so eloquently put into words what I struggle to express has always amazed me and touched my heart. Also, I loveeeeee how you told that person to take themselves out to the trash!! Savageeeee!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  • Paul Stewartabout a year ago

    First and foremost, Congrats as it's a milestone worth celebrating! Second, I love your retort to the wombat who dismissed you with cruelty towards you, language and making sense all in one fell swoop lol! third, I am glad the platform and the people you mentioned (who are all wonderful , inspiring and supportive) have made you feel able to share your heartfelt and clever writing! Well done!
