Plus we're so damn likable, haha!

Haha! I do think it's correlated with your nature, and you and Ethan are so lucky in that regard. Also, I think learned behavior is even more awesome. It goes against your nature somewhat and yet you consciously try to improve. I have tons of those things too, so I know how difficult it is to keep consistent.

How is Zoe and Howie in terms of being Jenna-like? If we're similar in that aspect, then maybe it's our similar attitude that's resulting with our being constantly forgotten/dismissed? Still, trying to get to the root of it.

I haven't missed commenting on any of your chapters (even if some are late) and I don't plan on starting any time soon. Me? This whole rough patch is a true test of my grit here, I think. I'm running on reserves as I slog through getting the whole Tragic Traffic Koans thing done. Planning to write a retrospective, so I'm saving my sentiment about it. As you know, it's inherently difficult for me to post regularly, so I'm inevitably heading for a long burnout period after this monumentally dismal series.

I did send Deb my condolences when she posted it. Although, I have to disagree that everything seems dark, as I feel everything's basically the same. "We" just hit an unlucky patch, s'all. Air quotes on we because you're still averaging your usual while my posts have hit lows in earning votes and interaction haha! There was one koan that didn't crack $10 and another that didn't receive comments haha! It's the first time I've experienced September on Steemit, and I have to say that it sucks so much hahahaha! If I had experienced this kind of month last year I might've never returned when I did haha!
