THANK YOU, SIS <3
You're not just skinfolk, you're kinfolk. You SAID THE THING and said it perfectly--renewed my appreciation of getting a "Hi" from kin I don't know (yet) but still KNOW. With whom, in many situations, I can hold WHOLE CONVERSATION WITH, in a single glance.
The Nod is the same thing. We see each other and know our common struggles. And we can say a million things with a single nod, but most importantly: "Glad to see you're surviving, fam. Keep it pushin'."
Why WOULDN'T I want to say that to anyone who could hear it and probably needs to, at least once in a while--scientifically peer-reviewed data (or whatever that weirdo tool said) or not?
PLEASE, keep writing because when you write you shine, and all us kinfolk shine with you :-)
