Thanks! I'm honored, and every time I see that upvote number go up, it means a lot to me, just like it would on reddit (where every vote is actually worth 0.000 technically :D), so thank you. And I'm even more grateful for the reblogs, because it helps unbury valuable content and boost it's visibility, helping it reach and be beneficial to more.
I do my best to make my words count and keep my content conversational and engaging, so I'm thrilled that comes through for you.
Haters come to anyone and everyone who 'makes a splash', 'speaks boldly', or 'is exceptional/remarkable' in some way. I've never seen someone escape them because haters are part of life's journey in a global society of 8 billion humans. They rarely have 'good reasons' for the hate, and are best ignored, in my experience. If someone's content isn't my preferred style, I don't aim hate at them, I simply unfollow, block, or move on, but some people can't help but invest extra time and energy to spit vitriol at others. :)
Grace and peace to you as well! 🙏
