Very well written with all the right exclamation marks.

You don't write for whales or whatever other animal species.

You write because you have a passion for something and a need to express it and relate it to the people who are passionate about it too.

Upvotes and Steem whatever is an added bonus.

That's it.

By the way:

• I like tortoises but I don't have them in my backyard; I am a dog person,
• @jesta +s https://steemstats.com/ is pure gold; without it I would be lost in Steemit universe

Keep on the good work!
