Yes, connection. We long for connection as writers. Sitting alone for hours creating, crafting, and wondering: "Am I doing good work? Will this matter to someone other than me?

What I love about Medium is, sometimes, after crafting an article, there may be silence, but then before the week is over a bubble pops up....

What's inside the bubble?

Inside the bubble is a face or a logo and a comment from someone who simple says: "Thank You."

So, Thank you.
