I'm sorry we didn't get to meet earlier on the platform as I very much enjoy your content. Happens. Besides my immediate family, some of my more meaningful human interactions happen here on the platform, where I can find like-minded people. Or people who will tolerate rants and ramblings understanding that I just needed a place to vent my frustrations. Keep doing what you do!
I would just add that I feel the same about people I used to know on the platform. Just visited the still existing account of @stevescoins, whose last post, three years ago, was about cancer pain. I also remember Steem/Hive dramas that ended long ago, heartwarming moments with the community pulling together to help one of their own. I like it when some user I used to know pops in with a quick update on their life. I think it was back on Steem when we used to say "Come for the money, stay for the community". We did. Congrats on your Hive anniversary.
