Oh my God. A masterpiece. Thanks for this. Painful and cathartic. As long as we keep writing, we will keep staying sane I think.

I think you’re right. Per scripturam, sanitatem! (According to the internet translate function, that means “through writing, sanity” in Latin.).

The scariest thing is, had I read this a year ago, I would’ve deemed it too on the nose. But with everything that’s happened, this future feels all the more likely, word for word. Excellent work!

Thanks, man! It’s crazy how fast things change in such a short time, isn’t it?

The wave of emotions on those first two paragraphs. Thanks for giving me something to anxiety chuckle through first thing in the fucking morning. 😂

Sorry to hit you with that first thing!

It was awesome. I wouldn't have it any other way.
