Rob your essay had me smiling halfway through. I know this probably wasn't easy to write, let alone publish. You probably think it could have been said better, but it was perfect.

One of the things I enjoy about your writing is your authenticity. You can't fake anything. Every line is 100% you. I love it.

Since those cozy times in The Arena last year when I met you, I've noticed a continuous evolution in your writing and thinking. While most are busy niching down, you're rising up (even if it feels slow). Where they're narrowing their thoughts on one thing, you're spreading yours to adjacent fields to get to know yourself and the world better. It's inspiring to witness.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen or heard as much from you over the summer. Now I know why. You were in a cocoon that felt tight and uncomfortable. You were evolving. And you've emerged as something new and something more.

I'm very happy and excited for your move to France!

I know what it's like to move to a new country, to a new living and social situation. It's thrilling in good ways and scary ones. In the end, with your positive attitude and your newfound community at Foster and in the co-living space, I know you'll thrive in new and familiar ways.

I wish you the very best!

Bon voyage!
