I'm a pretty regular contributor here, but I notice that when I am quiet, it can get more and more difficult to post again.
It invites me to wonder what it is like for folks who step away for a longer interval, or who may be suffering in some way. Commenting might be just too challenging.
I hope, if you are here, reading quietly--particularly if you are hurting in some way--that you still feel a sense of place and kind regard.
Lots of empathy from folks.

Thank you for the kind and thoughtful words, Min. This is all too true, that it gets harder each time to jump right back into things. And for sure, we never know what someone else is going through... sending positive vibes your way 💓💓💓
For a long time, I really tried to focus on offering a "welcome back" spirit but I began to wonder if I was making folks feel self-conscious
But I want folks to have that sense of appreciation for their presence 🙏
@Minholkin anyone feeling self conscious is likely already self conscious anyway, but that said, I do see where you're coming from.
You've always been kind and welcoming; a warm presence on CoSo for sure! I hope you know how appreciated you are here, because I for one appreciate you and your presence.
