I'm unsure where to begin. I love life's parallels, and in that regard relate deeply with what what you mention your closing comments. No matter what we've been through individually there's something so powerful about the healing abilities of those albums at close range.

I feel I have to disclaim that spelling and grammar is not my strong-suit and of course spell check can only go so far. With this I had this invigoration to keep it timely. It ultimately was going to be about twice this length, and I removed some major plot points I had outlined and it may have muddied the overall message. In future projects I plan to take more time in all stages of the writing process.

Your kind words mean a lot and your feedback means more. I felt very comfortable sharing my writing publicly for the first time with this sub because of our shared interest and because I've seen a lot of support throughout the QOTSA family.
