The Depressing Truth on the Value of My Writing
I joined Vocal officially as a Vocal+ member in June of 2021. I began writing here shortly after my Medium account was suspended for the second time. It has yet to be reinstated despite multiple requests, and so I have continued to publish here for the past almost three years now. While at first I railed endlessly against their counterproductive censorship policies, absurd minimum word count requirements, bizarre "community" structure, and bare bones text editing capabilities I have come to accept the limitations and have developed something of a fondness for it. One thing that has not changed much since my Medium days is my popularity and viewership stats. I was never very popular there and that trend has continued apace. While I like to think I am a fairly decent to maybe even good writer, the general public continues to strongly disagree, at least based on the dollar value they have assigned to my work.

A Surprising Act of Love
Every night before I went to bed, I asked my wife to step on me. I would lay flat on the floor and this woman would walk on me, stepping on every pain point in my body; my waist, my shoulder, my spine, and my waist again. I love her weight on me. She's not too heavy and she's not too light. Just the right weight. But she didn't like to do it every day. She complained. She told me to get my body fixed if I was broken. I knew where to go with my broken body but my finances didn't allow me.
