I'm honestly stunned that people connected to it in this way, and I'm even more stunned this got the attention it did. It really just felt like creating something for the sake of creating and coincidentally walking through some feelings I had. I didn't actively put it anywhere thinking no-one else would give a shit.
But the actual point, I'm hijacking this one as an open thank you to everyone who enjoyed this, and even moreso to those who genuinely felt something from it. It's the most attention I've got on anything (serious) I've made ever and I'm still not quite sure how to process it.
For you specifically, I'm not quite sure what I did, but I'm glad it clicked. I hope I get to be in the position you are some day.
