HI Tristan! Welcome to Steemit! Although, you should really be welcoming me because I just joined today Hahahaha. You're writing is coming along quite nicely; I have no doubt you'll be a first-class writer if you want to be. Great to hear that philosophy is among your interests; it's exceptionally important to be able to think critically. Don't ever be ashamed to "go there" with people - truth needs defenders, as it's under incessant attack. You appear to be a worthy ally for it. Hope you're enjoying your time here!
