I’ve used the phrase “brutal honesty” a lot. But this piece, Matt, is brutal. Let me be clear, it must have been brutal for you to write. A raw account of a raw, struggling person, trying to better for themselves. It’s brutal and the honesty is beautiful for us reading it. Thanks for the words, friend!
Thankful I get to walk the planet at the same time as you.
I believe Hemingway was credited for something along the line of, "There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein." You opened a vein or two and I expect there will be some of us who benefit from your bloodletting. Well-written and persuasive without sermonizing...
I am happy for you to have reached success with your decision, or should I say, happy that you are comfortable with where you are on that never-ending road to success. Keep it up. Turn on your brights and light the way.
congratulations on yer sobriety matt
one day at a time

Mark, thank you for these strong and encouraging words.
(Your last eight words here will no doubt end up in a song, if that's okay…)
I am grateful for you, my friend.
Write that song! I'll be proudly listening in the audience!
Well told, Matt. I believe sharing your stories going to help others. Looking forward to listening to some of the songs on your playlist.
Thank you, Mary! I'm looking forward to more storytelling together in our class.
