I purchased my first home in the spring of 2012 and self-published a YA novel in November 2012.

Oh cool. I assumed its meaning correctly.
I’d do similar, but my description would be something like:

That’s a beautiful poem Adam.
I also guessed the meaning correctly.
I didn’t point it out, but this poem is a style I did a lot in high school where the first letter of each line spells the word BREATHE. Fancy eh?
Adam
Ooh, I didn’t even spot that! You’re all meta ‘n stuffz.
