Hey! So you probably do not remember this, but about half a year ago I sent you a message, and you sent an incredibly kind and thoughtful response to that message, which I never properly responded to, because generally I am the worst at responding to messages. But I just wanted to say that a) that message you sent meant a lot to me and b) your blog really has genuinely altered, subconsciously+otherwise, the way I think about and consume a great deal of culture. Hope you're doing well! --D
Daniel, I totally remember that exchange — I never forget anything, my mind is like a neatly-organized arsenal of feelings, memories, and miscellaneous fragments of information. We’ve followed each other for the longest time and your writing has always inspired me. Also, your observation holds very true. I have changed so much, every single day of every single year really, and that transformation has totally altered my blog. It fills my heart with great joy to hear that I’ve had that kind of impact on you — that we are all growing and evolving together. I hope you are well, my friend. I have nothing but respect and love for backleftlitz.
