I just got to your newsletter today and reading this, I felt an instantly spark of shared experience: "Looking back, I can’t imagine physical violence happening to me at Williams, but at the time the closet and my insecurity painted countless devils on the walls.". I am sorry insecurity was a part of your life in those years (as it was and often times still is to so many of us). 💕
I never knew that about OBON. I always wondered about the term. This was such a wonderful post I enjoyed it immensely! I also didn’t know about July being a month of demons!

This is why I write. If only to let people that there is a way forward, through the insecurity, to a more authentic life.
This is a beautiful reason for writing. Thank you for existing 💞
Are you still in contact with Masa? I know you tend to stay in touch with people pretty well.
I wish I were. I’m not even certain if I’ve remembered his name correctly.

So many fun rabbit holes for this issue.
It was a fun post to read. I really enjoyed this one a lot!
