I'm going to go to sleep so I'mma just leave this here. Read it if you want:
I’ve enjoyed being part of such an amazing competition. It’s been a f
ucking rollercoaster ride to say the least but I’ve learnt a lot and enjoyed being in the company of so many talented people.
This week was tough. Not just the challenge but my life. I couldn’t put the time in that it required. I did try but everything I wrote wasn’t working so I scrapped it all. In the end, I wrote what I submitted in 20 minutes at 6am on Saturday on a complete whim just for the sake of submitting. I knew it was a mess then and I still think it’s a HAM so I’m not even mad. I deserve to go. However, I’m proud of everything I have written throughout the last 2 months and yes that includes parts of the iconic flop “Gay”.
You’re all unbelievably gifted so don’t ever believe anything else. To have made it THIS far means a lot to me especially since you are all of high calibre and possess great capabilities. Thanks to everyone that’s motivated me, inspired me and helped me throughout.
Thank you to the judges for taking the time to read, review (most of the time) and rate everything I wrote.
Some of you were a huge help.
I took on board everything you’ve said throughout so it was not in vain. You’ve helped me learn a lot so I truly appreciate what you guys have done for all of us.
A special thanks to my good sis TT for providing me with such a great opportunity and organising an exhilarating contest. PH has seriously increased my love for you. I thought you were great before but this has really shown me what a beautifully, kind and caring person you truly are. You’re doing a great job, boo! Thanks for everything
Although, I never placed top 10 during PH, I’m glad that I regained the love for writing. Writing was always my outlet when I was a teen but I lost it when I got into the adult world. To have found that again is everything and more. I will continue to write and hopefully you’ll see me in PH8!
