thanks so much for reading and responding. i was initially hesitant to post. this wasn’t my experience (my story) and i didn’t want the words to feel false. i appreciate your feedback.
you told a clear story, with a clear conflict/resolution and i could see every detail in my brain. there is a colloquial yet philosophical edge to this piece that speaks to so many people on so many levels. great work!

Great story,
Now I have more inspiration for my next post.
Keep up the good work!
Very well written. You told it very well and I am sure someone who has lived it could say this speaks for them.
That was amazing man.
Reminded me of Springsteen’s darker material— which is a definate compliment!
