Today, I had an absolutely wonderful experience on Substack. I got a new subscriber, Zarator . But not just any subscriber - one who comments. A lot.

This subscriber left multiple long, thoughtful, insightful comments on my story. It made me feel seen and it made me feel that someone really cares about my story. 🥲

I absolutely love comments (hint, hint 😄). I will likely never make a bunch of money because of my story (though I do have a Buy Me a Coffee buymeacoffee.com/aidenm…) but if I have readers that love to read what I love to write and they often comment thoughtfully on my chapters, that’s all I need. 💙
