This was an interesting read. It’s very well written, but I wouldn’t recommend it to most people I’ve met due to the weight of the topics presented. I found the quicker I read through the less it resonated but if I stopped to marinate, I almost drowned in the message. I think I’ll check in with me, make sure my mental space is good, and revisit at a later time.
UPDATE: It was difficult to find the right approach and pace, but once I got the hang of it, it was 100% worth it. Definitely a message that needs to be shared.
