As the sun set over the horizon, the old man sat by the river, lost in thought.
He had lived a long life, filled with joy and sorrow.
As he gazed at the water flowing by, he realized that life was like a river, constantly moving forward, never stops or turns back
He wondered if he had made the most of his time, if he had lived his life to the fullest. Then he smiled, realizing that it was never too late to start anew, to make the most of the remained time.
The river of life never stops flowing.

Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.
