@brennan this is a beautiful writing, Brennan. Thank you! While being a little difficult for a non-native speaker to understand (I had to look up words a lot :D), I love your writing style.
@alvan Thank you for the kind words :) I'm sorry for being dense. I am still shedding academic jargon, but also I just have a bad habit of writing clunky sentences and usually I am posting an immediately-written first draft and do edits after publication 😆
@brennan No, I think it is fine as is. It is refreshing to read posts like that. A little friction made me value the point because I put effort to understand.
