1. this paragraph makes me feel so much better about my low production rate—I, too, write basically 1 thing a year (the 2 big reboot manifestos, audience of one) and can't seem to build the momentum around anything less urgent than that: "I mean, sure, it’s not my life’s work, but something about the process did was urgent and inevitable; over the months of thinking about the topic I started feeling so strongly about what I had to say that by the time it came to write, most of it just spilled out. A pressing thing to put out in the world. Then I realized that for the last several years I’ve more or less written exactly one thing per year that’s felt like this."
2. the olga dies dreaming paragraph is a perfect tribute to a summer and so beautifully written
thank you for this gorgeous meander through your year! reading this felt like lying down on a picnic blanket with you and hearing you articulate, in your artful and relaxed way, the thoughts that happen to cross your mind.
happy to have been a small part of your year & to have contributed to some of these moments ❤️
ahhh

3. jake strava comment ending ahh!!!
> and the word that came to mind as I finished my cafe au lait was superposition, all these overlapping versions of myself.
the paragraph ending with this sentence was so satisfying
it was the literary form of when in music there's momentum building from a sequence of repeated notes
