Wow man...this shit really hit on a lot of the big questions that I think accompany us writers when we're writing from within circles that aren't really familiar with the "literary" pursuits. I really appreciate you giving this context and zooming out a bit as well on your journey. Sounds like it was super rewarding.

Amazing. Felt more in those 8 minutes that was both dark and hard and simultaneously uplifting. I'm donating to help with printing costs!

This is gorgeous- you gave me chills! A timely and urgent reminder of how writing/the arts can directly influence and improve people's Iives. Something I know and have experienced very much in my own life. Those organizations you wrote about sound amazing, and congrats on your nominations and success!
