I can tell when I'm getting the obligation tit for tat reads because I just read and invested in there work. The transactional engagement can get a little robotic and awkward (Like a lot of today's relationships) but I take the good with the bad.

It's some phenomenal writers on this platform and I honestly feel blessed when I read you. I didn't initially subscribe to Medium to write. It was as a reader. I love when a reader genuinely likes and shows up for my work. If you don't get joy from immersing yourself in my writing maybe you're just on a self focused mission. Hey, whatever works for you go for it.
