More love letters.
It's only right that we should open this one with a more traditional love letter. In a very tangible way, Mona deserves credit for awakening in me the ability to say things like this at all.
Blattella - What could I possibly write here that would be sufficient? None of these messages can encompass all there is to say, of course, but this one most of all. Thank you for being who you are. I love you.
Grek - I see you engaging wholeheartedly in all kinds of idea prompts from different folks with different projects! You also possess a degree of tact that well complements your compassion. I am reflecting on the way you presented a challenge to a harmful rhetorical device and kept it from exploding into a real shitshow, preserving everyone's dignity. Good work!
Loch - You have such a unique voice and perspective that I value quite a bit -- another of the folk who I am pretty certain are much smarter and better educated than me in this space! -- and I shall treasure the painting you made for my D&D group. I'm always delighted to find you participating in a discussion.
Louis - There's a unique quality to a Louis compliment, interest, or alignment in opinion. I think I'm not alone in feeling this. It brings me joy to hear about your joy. Go dancing!
theisticGilthoniel - The compassion you have for all people pretty much overflows from you at all times, doesn't it? I appreciate the growth you've attained in the brief time I've known you, in terms of being able to vary your approach and modulate your level of investment wisely.
Phlox - You've given me all of these wonderful people, how could I have anything but effervescent praise? I thank you for taking an interest in my music, and think your sense of humor is really good.
And yet there's still more to do! But trying to bang them all out at once will serve no one.
