I mean it. This is the first thing I've read of yours since I met you that made me feel something "heavy." Maybe I should commit suicide to help you out. I'm pretty drunk and I don't know if that's a cruel thing to say or not at the moment. I just know that I can't let such an astute critical statement go to waste. It will probably be one of the only things I ever say that could have a forceful impact if taken seriously. Seriously, if you could write with half as much intensity as this one percent of the time, you'd be doing pretty well. Think about it. So it took a suicide for you to write something inspired.
