Its the little things that mean so much

I recently debated the status of this webpage because no one had subscribed for many months. I realize this is an organic process; it takes time and care. After all, I am the sole person accountable for creating the content, which means I cannot blame anyone but myself for its success or failure.

Then, I went through another period of depression and couldn't find the energy to write. I was perilously close to abandoning and deleting my webpage when something wonderful happened. I discovered that I now have two new friends and subscribers that I had engaged with via Medium (Michael) and Substack (John). I want to welcome both of them and hope they'll give feedback so I can keep improving as a writer.

I'm encouraged to keep my website running because of these two new subscribers. I had time to recognize how much this news meant to me. I felt renewed and more motivated than before. Now, I have to find a successful way to fight off the spells of depression that still plague me.
