Your responses Jules are no more or less than exactly what they should be, and I always adore them. Even though now, I think where we used to zip-zap-zing back and forth, we’ve progressed to more of just a mutual nod of appreciation. Acknowledgement in the form of a green heart. I don’t need to say anything to you on your pieces for you to know I enjoyed them. You don’t need to reply to mine either. And, you know, also we chat outside of Medium anyway.

But I mostly want to say, that you are not chopped liver to me. I can almost guarantee you you’re not chopped liver to David, and it’s only almost because I don’t speak for other people, but nothing in his character would lead me to believe he would think that about you. I don’t know a single soul who would view you as chopped liver.

That person would not be someone I’d want to know. What a soulless individual they would be — for you’ve got soul in spades m’dear.
