    If not for your comment, I’d have probably scrolled past this post after just agreeing with the headline. Instead, I have decided it’s worthwhile to spend the time to read the thing.

    I’m telling you this because personally, I enjoy when I, a random person on the internet, says something that changes the course of someone’s life, if only by a tiny amount. It’s got a similar affective impact to pressing a button on a satisfying mechanism — like, input in, result out.

    In this case, the input is your care about this blog, and the output is me caring enough to give it a read.

      Thank you!

      It’s crazy how long it’s been, but I remember in high school staying up late at night reading “The Episode” like a short story before bed.

      Glad to see the author is still posting, hope you like the writing style.

      The headline also had me skeptical, but when I recognized the author, I had a good feeling I’d enjoy the take. It was a unique perspective and the same writing style I enjoy.
