Wild Flower, thank you, thank you, thank you for the shout-out. That’s a fine list in which to be included. Seriously. This thread so embodies the best that Medium has to offer: not just people who write or a lot of content, but a community of real people who are passionate about writing, relationships, and making the world a little bit better than the way they found it.

Jules, you’ve found a great friend in Wild Flower. Keep digging, keep writing, and welcome to Medium! I’m sure you have plenty of wonderful stories to tell.
