Dear Seaturtle:

I submitted the above before I became aware of your 2nd post:

“By great, I mean I want to add to the world. I am afraid I will not make my ideas come to life, and if I do they will maybe not be seen by others, and if it is not seen then how does it make a change in the world“-you made a positive change in my world, and I am part of.. the world. Maybe you made a positive change in people reading your thread.. that’s more of the world into which you added.

“I gave up the desire for popularity when I realized I did not want the attention of those who couldn’t see me when I was being my natural self“- ask hatch sometime if she gave up her desire for popularity. (The part I boldfaced reads like something Seaturtle would say, using rationale to overlook what hatch is really feeling.

“Part of me has a desire for people like F and N, to see that I am ‘cool, funny, and strong’ (from my post above). They told me I wasn’t those things, more so F, and there’s a part of me that wants them to see that I am“-part of you.. hatch has a desire to be thought of as cool, funny and strong. Notice how I ended the above post before reading your recent post: “May hatch be… hatch, funny or not (whether people think she is funny, cool, strong, or not)“.

As I read n, I realized that I will have to reply further later, maybe not before Sun.

Have a good rest of Sat, Seaturtle!
