I absolutely, completely get what you are saying, Gabriel. In so many ways, this is the story for so many if us. I haven't picked up a paintbrush in years, played music, consumed books like I used to. I am absolutely aware and locked in to what is now going on. Some would call it madness. I call it liberation and purpose. Sometimes I feel like Linda Hamilton in Terminator. Honing myself for one thing, and one thing only - a hard, sharp purpose. I, too, miss my flesh-family and friends. Desperately. But, strangely, I feel as though I have finally found myself. I was lost, before. I hope they try to find me. I'll reach out if I feel they are looking for me. Not in the physical sense. You know what I mean.

Call Roscoe. I think he is probably looking for you. If the worst has come to pass, it's better that you know.

Mate, as someone who has known you throughout the pandemic, just let me say this.

However confused you may feel internally, from the outside looking in, you have conducted yourself with integrity and have been true to yourself throughout the pandemic. Sometimes even a little too much so (remember my warnings to tone it down and not leave all of yourself in a corporate email?).

We've all lost so much through this pandemic, I could relate to so much of what you say. But you haven't lost yourself mate, far from it.

You've found your true self.
