This is overwhelming, Nour. I'm guilty of expecting others to reciprocate reads. With that said, I hate the idea tha I am only read out of a duty. I think it is why I send some of my work to other publications. When published and paid, I feel my writing has worth. That's not good either since I hate to think if I am not paid then the writing had no worth. I write what I want and hope it touches someone. I doubt I'll change that.

Goodness, this was really thought provoking.
