This hit me a few different ways when I read it. Personally I get a feeling of validation knowing anybody even read something I wrote. Sometimes I’m sad if I don’t get an overwhelming response to a post to the stream. It’s nice to operate from a place of self validation but to think you’d never need to feel validated by anyone or anything external is definitely unrealistic. You write well and I can tell that it’s mostly for your benefit and less about what others feel. However, I enjoy reading your stuff and I’d urge you to continue to follow your heart with it.

It’s really good. It immediately invoked feelings I have about the site. It’s a good candidate for the contest. I feel it would make a great opener. Again, excellent job.
