Ok so for integrity purposes last night had a Shtikle major slip (HHM insist it isn't a fall even though it feels that way), I think it's time to tighten the ship a little more, I saw it coming, I was breaking gedararim left and right for the past couple of days, really I should've reached out before the slip for chizuk but now here I am, I'm going to add some pages of TBOTG every night to keep all this on the forefront of my mind, and be shtarker about txting before and after online use (really I should cut it all out but I'm scared that if I do it wont hold and when I do go on it'll feel bad enough that I'll just do whatever I want).

Car mirrors. I have an interesting and unique affection for them. It all began when I first learned to drive. For some reason i couldn't quite grasp exactly which lane the fast approaching car was actually in. I used to kind of guess and hope for the best. Fists clenched and heart racing, I'd change lanes - and breath a sigh of relief.



Eventually, after about a year of driving, i finally got it straight. I remember the excitement of being able to know exactly where and how far away all the cars around me were just by glancing at my three mirrors. I still love to passionately explain to new drivers all the tricks i invented to help them master their car-mirror skills. 

Tonight only further cemented my deep historical relationship with said mirrors as in them i caught my first glimpse of a man I've come to know quite well. Skepticism and openmindedness aside, i appreciate you for that along with everything else. 


humbly,

Sometimes I wonder what would have been,

what would have been if such a young kid didn’t get an unfiltered device at such a young age,

what would have been if he hadn’t discovered all there is to see online,

what would have been had someone reached out to this kid drowning in pain and confusion,

what would have been if someone took the weight of his world off his shoulders,

what would have been if he felt loved and accepted despite it all,

what would have been…….

who knows, but one things for sure he wouldn’t have the friend he has in you now.



Warmly,
