Thank you! Yeah, I did cut myself some slack and yes, it would be a huge loss - so many connections here, and the social time, getting to support others and giggle with them and to feel that support and friendship in return.

What I was trying to say is that it's never good to put our happiness in the hands of anyone / anything else (okay, Medium doesn't exactly have 'hands'!). When we rely on anyone or anything external to bring us joy or happiness (or other goodies), we're giving up our power.

I just needed a little reminder to be sure I keep the right perspective about how important Medium is to me. It'll still be meaningful and important, of course. I just had to remember not to allow it to have such a huge part in my overall happiness.

Hard to explain - especially in this context. But I hope this made some sense!

Thank you for your kind comments! 💜💜💜
