Dear reader, the comments left on yesterday's post were deeply touching. To say thank you does not begin to capture the scope of their effect on me. I thought about responding to each and every one but decided instead to share my feelings here.
My motive in asking "what draws you to Tollipop?" sprung from curiosity and the valiant intention to perhaps try harder to write about the topics which interest you. Instead, you took it as an opportunity to say the nicest things, observations which caught me off guard and filled me with wonder to think someone, especially those I don't personally know, would see so much in me and my writing.
It made me feel...amazed, thoughtful, and generously seen.
Thank you for coming here and spending time with me.
Also, it was very interesting to see Tollipop does indeed have a few gentleman callers! Imagine! For your interest, and because I know graphs and pie charts are so appealing to the opposite sex, I distilled the information into a highly scientific table of my own.
Forgive the hasty nature of my work, but I think this captures the demographic rather nicely.
Dear, darling man readers of Tollipop...you are ever so welcome to join us at this tea party. I hope you will always feel comfy and cozy here!
Even if you didn't invite me to prom.
