Well I'm certainly happy to hear that I made your day!

But I'm even more happy to hear you say, "I am honestly the most secure and whole I have ever felt in my life, and hope to find more wholeness from within as I get older." I'm not an expert on very many things, but I do understand isolation better than most, and it is so heart-warming to hear you say that being in isolation actually helped you find the peace and security you've been looking for. It also confirms that I was right about you, and that you really are as impressive as I thought! It takes a lot of courage to face yourself, to be alone with your thoughts for a long period of time, and to confront the feelings that are dragging you down and keeping you from being happy. That you were able to do that in the middle of a chaotic pandemic says a lot about how strong and brave you are.

I'm seriously proud of you and happy for you! Of course, my offer will always stand. If you ever find yourself in a bad place, or if those old feelings ever pop up and you need a sympathetic ear, I'll be here. I promise. In the meantime, I'll of course keep reading your work and will see you around Medium. Take care, and have a good night! Talk to you soon!
