Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.

Now, I don’t crave everyone telling me what a lovely and kind person I am.

It’s impossible to be liked by all people. I also don’t like everyone with whom I come in contact. Sometimes, I don’t even like myself, but as adults, to have peaceful interactions with fellow human beings, we have to learn to deal with these contradictory impressions about others in an acceptable way for all.

However, it would be nice to hear from others that I’m a good writer and that they like my writing. Hearing that my texts somehow triggered them to think more deeply or that they have learned something after reading would be the best. At this point, the teacher in me is speaking; it’s all about learning.

I think everyone who writes likes to hear people like his writing because we are human beings, and sometimes, or sometimes very often, the seed of doubt lingers and grows slowly deep inside you, bringing up the self-doubting question now and then: Am I doing the right thing? Am I doing it right?
