Chapter 12 - My Next Step, and a Thank You.

I'm trying to decide my next step in life, more specifically, on this website.

I feel a tad unaccomplished. Yes, I've received a lot of kind reviews that praise my work, etc., and I appreciate that more than you can ever believe. Heck, I'm only 12 reviews away from receiving a Top Writer badge! I can never thank you, my reader, for reading my work and leaving a comment on it enough. I thank the few who have been reading my work from the very beginning as well, and to the ones who have never left their view on my poetry, please do! I really do listen to criticism and I am thankful for any compliment you may leave.

Back to the point of this... I'm trying to decide my next step, which direction my writing should take. I feel like I'm killing the dark themes, such as death, depression, etc. (no pun intended), and that I should challenge myself and try to write something a bit more sweet, innocent, and happy. I've never written anything like that for a few reasons, mainly because whenever I try, it turns out too happy... if that makes any sense. It's sickening, how fake and gross it sounds. Plus, I know dark themes better, and it's much easier to write about what you know vs. what you don't. I'm just rambling now, but I don't know what to do. What should my next step be?
