Hi Meghan,
I love to read, but often don’t make or have enough time to do so. Since finding Medium, my reading enjoyment has gone up immeasurably.
Normally, when I see a title that catches my attention, if I see that it is longer than a ten minute read, I often only skim the article, if at all. Yours, listed as being a 28 minute read, is easily the quickest and most interesting article I have found to date.
Your words expressed so many thoughts I have had regarding my frustrations with not being “liberal enough” amongst my left-leaning friends and family. Like you, I have at times attempted to play devil’s advocate, or to express subtle nuances, only to be dismissed or derided by those I tried to engage in reasonable conversation with. Thank you for helping me to feel a little less lonely.
I also enjoyed your personal story, and can appreciate the heartache and frustrations associated with the demise of a once seemingly wonderful relationship.
I look forward to reading more from you.
~Michael
