Uncertainty is a word that doesn't seem to have a good or bad connotation so I think uncertainty is fine. Mystery is another way to look at things. That's a little bit more exciting and and suspenseful. Life would be boring if you knew everything that was supposed to happen to you.

Thank you for pointing that out. I think there can sometimes be an invisible negative connotation to it. Mystery is infinitely better! Have a great weekend, Zina!

Thanks, Mike! That's a good one for me to remember whenever my perfectionism is convincing me that all uncertainty is terrible.

I, too, would like to go to the land with thousands of subscribers. I think every writer, on here or otherwise, does. It's a dream come true - to talk, and to be listened to. To be appreciated, perhaps even anticipated with delight. I know it takes time and effort, a lot of work that seems like unpaid labor at worst and practice at best, and everywhere I look the porcupine is there. But maybe the porcupine isn't so bad, at least I now know he won't shoot quills at me! If I leave him alone, he'll live me alone, and maybe I'll make some room for him in my tent that I set up along this journey!

Haha, that’s the spirit! Making room for the porcupine to come along for the journey! Thank you for your comment.
