i’m both comforted and saddened by the overwhelming response to this thread. i’ve seen people say things like “if only the people we wanted to understand this would even take the time to read it” - and valid! it DOES feel like an echo chamber of us yelling out into the ether, only ever getting an occasional “hey! me too!”, but maybe that’s all we need? or if it’s all we’re going to get, at least we have each other? i see all of you, and i feel the same ways. thank you ❤️‍🔥
