I loved getting to know you a bit better through this Q&A. Your writing voice is just like your speaking voice- soothing, genuine, evocative. I would love a second round!

yes please do more q&as! your insights are so helpful but also comforting in a way. also this q&a got me to to look deeper into the differences between existentialism, nihilism and absurdism

It ended so softly and subtly, I couldn't even notice that I made it to the end.

It's classic work. It fits with me like New York, and all the things in it fit. Mine was New Orleans. I wish I had lived there longer to know it better. Nothing stays the same. I felt more at home there than anywhere else, except for where I live now. Your writing is what I picture a person who has lived, is living, and will live. Coffees on me.

ahhh I'm INTJ too! Knew there was a reason I agreed with everything you write haha! But also, I just finished my bottle of perfume and I'm looking into Le Labo, and your description of Noir 29 sounds perfect! Going to check it out :)

This was quite lovely to dive into before bed. I feel connected to you (not to sound odd) by the manner in which you answered some of those personal questions. Thank you for sharing yourself.

Love mbti--I am an INTP, my instinct is always to think first, but heaven help those who ask me what is going on behind my hazel eyes. For what it is worth, Fear and Trembling is up next on my tbr at your urging. Thanks.
