Oh. I got a little carried away and forgot the main reason for my reply. I like to write as well. It is a talent that was suppressed by my parents when I was growing up. They believed that hard work is our destiny in life. Recently, because of Steemit, my talents have been reignited. I'm still trying to get back in the swing of it. I am however a very social person and I find personal interaction to be very inspirational. I spent years tearing down emotional walls with my wife and I am very familiar with how obstructive they can be. I've been hurt many times. But I just get back on the horse and ride again. Social media is good for meeting people, but it shouldn't be used as a protective barrier. There are so many wonderful experiences you can have with a person that cannot be shared behind a cyber wall. I know it can be hard, but give true interaction a chance. And if you haven't met that special someone yet, it will be a lot nicer in person.

This is a comment I want to hold on to. I have struggled lately to connect in person due to someone who meant a lot to me turning into an abuser. It is very difficult to trust enough to come physically close, but even more important to work at tearing down those walls in order to enjoy proximity again. I am lucky to have spent the day with a friend I don't often see and then read this comment reminding me not to hide. I can choose positive reactions in person just as I can through writing. Thank you.
