First I'd like to say, I hope you get well soon. And indeed, this is so important. Nowadays, people want to know authors and writers they read. And sharing personal stories here on Medium really does help others relate to you and your work. It's a way of not only connecting with your readers but being an intimate part of the Medium Community. Connection is so important. And I commend you on sharing personal stories, that takes real courage. I'd also like to thank you for your kind response, you have encouraged me. 💙😊
