Unfortunately, when you get someone used to being treated well, after a while they start to believe that things will always be that way. Often, the quality of their work starts to decline too, because they feel like they deserve the reward... simply because they've always received it before.

I personally try to maintain a certain level of quality in my posts and not fall below it. I try to respect the platform and the people who take the time to vote for me. Even though most of them are regular users rather than big curators, I appreciate every single vote I receive.

It's good to see you're alive and well! I hope you manage to sort out your move soon and get back to a normal, comfortable life.

And as for the walks... You once said yourself that you missed them, so now you have a chance to enjoy them a little! :)
