Powerful, Andrei. Really powerful. Thank you for opening up and sharing.

Amongst the power of the story, there's some great lines:

"It was no locker room, no football field, no dojo" -- I love the feel of the flow of this line.

"he eventually quit to start a successful small business, only for the 2008 recession to smack him back to kitchen-sink reality." -- I felt the joy and then cried an internal "nooo!" at this.

Thanks a bunch for all the kindness, Nathan! I’m glad you found something to like. Coming back to writing essays has been refreshing. I can’t wait for you guys to see what I have planned next.
