A friend of mine wrote a story here recently about not giving a damn what people thought of him. I disagreed. I don't give a damn what EVERYONE thinks of me, but those I love and respect . . . well i do care. Of all the people i read here on Medium, your writing and wisdom shines brightly for me. So, rightly or wrongly, and without wishing to apply pressure .. . your take on this was always going to be one I paid more attention to than others. I am so grateful to you for the kind words and the insights you have gifted me in this message. I am taking it all to heart. In the best possible way and in gratitude. A🙏💚
