I can hardly breathe after reading your essay. I am mute, yet your words are my own and I scream them into the silence. I bow my head with gratitude to you... yes, we, I... hold the power to sound and repeat one word, clear and graceful with inviolate intent.

ENOUGH.

Excellent piece! Thank you for exercising and stretching my mind. This and your previous essays feel like an offering of training wheels for me. To ride my own bicycle freely, without permission, has never felt possible to me, as the safety of remaining still and safe in my room of toxic shame is all I have allowed myself. Your deep thought and exploration is truly a beacon, and inspires me to try out my new “wheels” on my own.
