A pleasure to meet you @galenkp congratulations on your nine years in Hive, I was struck by the title and that image that looks a few years, as I have several that I wanted to publish but do not know if it's okay, but I'm glad to see yours and I see that if you can.
I also wish to be able to celebrate many years here, I also entered by the insistence of a friend, he retired for some reasons, but I was hooked in Hive, I already feel that it is part of me, I only have a year and something more, but my goal is to continue learning and growing little by little.
I was able to read all of your writing, and well as you say, it doesn't matter how they say or point at you, as long as they are not someone of great value in your life, when you are sure of what you are, there are no darts that can penetrate you.
Greetings, a pleasure to meet you.
