G: I liked your post about xxxx
me: That’s nice.
G: you dont accept praise well
me: I don’t do this to please other people. I do it to please me.

I have for a very long time been whole and integrated. I don’t need anyones approval for anything, and I don’t seek anyone’s approval. I know that the work that I do (as in my day job) is beyond reproach, and so do the people I work with. I write because if I didn’t write, if I didn’t have this outlet, I’d probably be nuttier than squirrel shit.

It’s nice when people read. I like when people comment. I am happy when I can make people think, happiest when I can make people laugh. But I don’t aim for this, these things are all by products of me letting the voices out of my head.

I like to write because as I do, I sharpen the skills, and maybe I’ll eventually be able to do something that will make me some money- but this is not my particular aim.

In this, as in everything, I seek no approval and require none. Still. To those of you who keep coming, and keep commenting,

thanks.
