@barge, I must say, your friends have some interesting nick names too!

I guess it became my comfort name for myself as I started to grow to like who I was discovering myself to be, and started the process of consciously dealing with my own pain and grief and trauma etc.

That's really deep bro. I think it's awesome that you correlated your nick name, in an introspective way towards personal growth.

I like the little sideways move onto the theme of a boat, floating along

Haha! Absolutely!

I love the proximity to a sense of identity I am already familiar with, and the sense of anonymity masking personal inner space that it provides. It as if by hiding behind it, I am able to reveal more of who I really am!

In terms of how I view my own screen name on Steemit, this is a commonality we share!

I wanna acknowledge this emoji 🚣 that I use as a signature - strictly speaking, it's a rowing boat, but hey!

I really like your signature. I have been thinking I want to make one of my own. There is a learning curve there for myself however, but I'm sure I will tackle it eventually. Did you notice the consistency of use in the markdown syntax you taught me? ;)

Thank you for accepting my invitation Arjun. I enjoyed reading this, it really was a pleasure!

Much love,
