relationships
I am grateful for your strange mind which so uniquely filters existence—at first it was difficult for me to interact with because I felt pressure to match your cool poetic manner, but I’ve subsequently realized that nobody could, so my job is simply to appreciate you, and this has been an upgrade to our dynamic.
Sasha Chapin • An open letter to 56 people I know
