Ideation is sometimes such an interesting thing because you’ll be thinking about doing something and then you meet a man from Italy, who’s parents have a small accordion company back home, and he introduces you to some of the weirdest music mixes you’ve ever heard in your life while sitting on your brother’s couch waiting for the Dino nuggets your brother’s roommate has in the oven for everyone, and for a moment you forget. It’s such a beautifully sick premise that we are given thought only for some of us to think about no longer doing so. I hope that you are well. I hope, maybe selfishly, that you continue to write so that I may continue to read. May you be loved eternally by those of whom from which you wish to receive it.🫶

it happens at the weirdest darkest times, during my routine or usual activities, like a casual bike ride (what if i just let myself get hit etc etc) or walk to the grocery store. i usually feel pathetic and dumb when ideation actually hits me, so this made me feel a bit better about it - thank you and hope you are well.

I've been ruminating on the ideations for a while myself, and deeply connect with having to make everything a bit. Friends noticed how down I was because of how monotone and few and far between new and existing bits were. Even now, there are days when I can't muster even a toneless, mispronounced C'est La Vie.

Reading your list of funny, silly, deeply human moments I might miss and miss sharing with another human, gave me more words to put to my thoughts and feelings about keeping on keeping on.

Thank you for writing, thank you for sharing. I hope you can make more bits.
