I used to be so afraid to miss one single day of writing because "my readers" would quit following me but after a while I realized it's not like that here.
Ha! I used to worry about this, too. A lotta breaks later, turns out who wanted to read is reading anyway.
Maybe because of the more anonymous nature of this platform people feel more comfortable letting their guards down and revealing more of their true feelings?
Yes, that's probably it. Though anonymity here strikes me as relative. The deeper the things you reveal here, the less anonymous you become. I mean sure, maybe people don't know your real name, or your face, or what not, but what's worth more, the name on your ID, or the thoughts in your head?
