Or maybe, Mapleton, this is a good time to just sit back and receive all the positive feedback coming your way! I echo it--in the short time I've been here, your posts have stood out as thoughtful, insightful, reasoned, and very, very human. Needing and wanting connection, being seen, is something that resonates with most of us. And, speaking for myself, my urge to respond to your original post was instantaneous and full of feeling: I wanted right away to make sure you knew that I have very much valued your presence here, and that your ability to communicate your struggles has helped illuminate my own. So take a minute and soak in a little "virtual love."
