Oh, wow. How very strongly I relate to this piece, what you've expressed and the way in which you express it. So very much looking forward to reading more from you.

[j0ydivided]

Thank you.

Oh my! Well said! I also suffer from 'that face' and so I, too, know many life stories; I like to think they give me colorful exposition when I need somewhere from which to draw... I think you have pulled me into your story for this season. I want to see what you reveal of yourself in your writing! :)

[j0ydivided]

Thank you; I look forward to showing everyone.

Lovely introduction. I look forward to hearing your stories. Too many people don't listen. glad you do.

[j0ydivided]

Thank you. It definitely feels, sometimes, like people are only waiting their turn to speak.

I relate very strongly to this piece!

[j0ydivided]

It seems that a lot of people do! I'm very happy to see that.

When I started reading, I thought, I'm kind of the opposite, because a lot of people know a lot about me, and there's very little I'm not open to sharing if it's relevant to the conversation, but I'm not very good at asking people questions to find out more about their lives. Then I thought, that's not entirely true, because there are a number of people who open up to me about things they don't share with very many people. I am a listener, when people have things they want to share with me.

Anyway, I found this very engaging, and I'm interested in seeing more from you.

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that it worked for you.
