I have no idea what it means, except perhaps that I am on here too much lol but I just noticed my status changed to a silver star

 

Writing life is hard with all the failure and rejections and uncertainty, but I firmly believe in celebrating every small win. So I'm going to celebrate this one even if it's meaningless really 😉 🤣 

 

Yay, I'm a star today! May we all become stars in our own ways

Silvers are usually associated with second places. Maybe that's in the future?

Though, bronze here is pretty great as well!

lol. Does that mean you are renouncing your 3 gold stars forum status? 🤣

I think you are deliberately stirring, Sir! 😉

You celebrate those small victories, Gideon! (Although, the color looks more gold to me than silver.)
