No need to eat feast on Corvus brachyrhynchos, Julia. Writing either speaks for itself or remains perceptionally mute, depending both on the reader and the writer. You are indeed skilled and talented in that department and you always have something worth reflection to say. Why do we write? Well, speaking for myself, it's one of the best damn self--therapy processes ever developed; I always write for myself and if others find something of value therein, so much the better! Good to have you back (even though MEDIUM has some major failings, admittedly). I'm sure both the Write Brothers and the Wong brothers (their Asian counterparts) would agree.
