Powerful and heartbreaking. Sharing these can not be easy, must be like bleeding the words. Sending you healing wishes. And thank you.
Jesus fucking christ I'm sorry. I'm glad you're ok.
Junot, you are a miracle.

Um. MORE, please. MORE.
As in I LOVED THIS ESSAY. did not love that this happened. But if shit must exist, let it become the best of art.
