I'll never forget how powerful that was and how cool it was to receive a donation from somebody not like my mom or my grandma or my cousin. This is somebody who did not know who I was prior to coming on the platform that resonated with my material so much that he was compelled to donate. So I'll never forget that. And I had paid them back in kind with the donation, even though I had to kind of remind them and nudge him a little bit that I had done so

And when I got some donations from people, it really was an amazing experience because you can't give back what they're giving you. It's not just the money, it's the props. It's feeling that they believe in you. So witnessed that feeling from you, between him and you and what a great thing. And I wanted to just reflect that. It triggered a great memory for me, so it hit me as well. Thanks

And I think that's a really weird outlook now that we have that not that it's a bad outlook, but it's definitely different because it doesn't seem as difficult to do. And I think that's the key piece is that if it's not that hard, why are we not doing it and supporting others more?
I've listened to a few podcasts and it's definitely conversation. Jared. Nobody's plucking anything. It's just people expressing their thoughts and that's what I like most about Swell so far. Anyways, I don't want to take up too much of your guys time. Have a great weekend and hopefully we'll talk soon

And Jared, Yes, I as a grown man am now starting to realize after all these years how important friendship is. I would put my friends on the back burner. It was hard for me to call. I would even see my friends calling me sometimes. And I was like, I want to go online. I don't want to talk on the phone right now. And now I'm just so gung hoping to talk with my friends that they live further away from me now

Hey, Dewuan. Professor, responding to your swell. Been a while since I've responded to one of your swells. Been a little bit busy as of lately, but I did listen to this, and now I'm getting time to respond to it. So I wanted to give you a shout out for keeping me engaged and interested in this platform. I believe when I came to this platform and started posting, I believe you were the actual first person to interact with one of my swells

Professor Z, thank you so much for responding. Good job, honey. Good job. Thank you for responding. And it's crazy to think that I was the first person ever responded to you because honestly, I don't respond to much post at all on Swell. Not to say that they're bad, but it's just in my nature that I'm really on here most of the time to kind of speak something into existence
