Aw thank you, Sierra! And yessss....I sorta sing/say it as a rap whenever I'm reading it 😂 also it was inspired by a rap song called "Blessed & Chosen" by Zauntee so...his style wiggled its way into my writing 😂

Thank you for reading!!

Oh yeah, and I totally get the misspelling thing . . . you'd be surprised how many people cannot spell "Polar." (Although, I don't think I've ever seen Merissa spelled any way but that . . .)

Oh goodness yes! I believe it 😂 yeah, so many people spell my name as "Marisa" "Marissa" "Melissa" and some how "Meresa"? It's the strangest thing 😂
