I have not had a ton of jobs in my life. As a kid, I had the normal bagboy, stocker, and cashier jobs. Then went into restaurants, then cars, then art and sports cards. but in the middle of all of that, I did mortgages. I had a friend named Bryan who was a bodybuilder and someone I looked up to. He told me this would be something I could build on and do for a long time, and I appreciated it, applies and got the job.
That’s not true at all: I absolutely read every single comment. I respect everyone who puts forth money for my journey. I am sorry things have been hard for you, but also please do not make that assumption about me.
"I have nothing to gain by sharing my life. Nothing at all. When I do, most people just use it against me to attack me when I share an opinion they do not agree with. I am used to it at this point and quite honestly, rarely read the majority of comments..."
THAT is why I *thought* you rarely read comments... I apologize for misunderstanding! I never, ever, ever meant to presume or insult you. Someone just shoot me now...
If I could figure out how to DM you, I would, but I can't, so here goes, sigh...
Tony, ouch. Good lord, I didn't mean to insult you. I only referred to that because YOU said it in a previous post?!? I never would have assumed it!!! (Read back a few and you will see where you literally write that you "almost never" read comments here - I only *believed* you.)
Hand duly slapped, my sincerest apologies - I NEVER intended offense! Honestly, you have so misread me. (I have posted my appreciation of your work here in the past, but, as I am fairly shy about speaking in public, deleted after a few days, as I shall do now.)
I will refrain (forever) from any further comments and continue to appreciate your writing and sharing as I have for years. ("...hard for me"? Yes, burying both of my sons, two of my three children, was hard for me, as is watching my surviving child also struggle with treatment-resistant SMI.)
Again, my deepest apologies. My INTENT was literally to encourage others to become paid subscribers. That my first sentence would cause such offense is appalling to me, it was so unintended. (A simple correction would have been sufficient, truly - now I feel publicly shamed and embarrassed. I will delete this soon, and likely will never know if you even see it. But ow, I feel humiliated. I am a fan, not a critic.)

P.S. From "No one deserves to feel alone":
