Thank you so much for the personal insight @dreemsteem. It's always a weird thing to have any kind of impact on someone you've never met, whom you only know via intangible electronic methods. From my recent steemit meetups, I've realized that connection is just as legitimate as any made via 'traditional' means.

I agree that things are connected in some invisible way. It's like a mesh that lays over everything (or maybe a bowl of spaghetti dumped on the floor). Everything touches everything else, but none of us can see the pattern or know it, we can only guess at it.

Thank you for reading :)
