Thank you for sharing this. I'm glad I got to read it. I haven't listened to that episode of Handsome yet... something to look forward to. Or cry about. I want to write more but I am tired and have no words.
What a beautiful essay. I feel like I would have been absolutely devastated those tapes never showed up. When I was 19 my apartment building had an electrical fire and all my belongings were water and smoke damaged, or just gone, covered in rubble. I was the most sad about a new case I had just gotten that all my band pins were in. It felt like losing a piece of my history I could never recall.
I am always here for the long, sad essays because they are so much about all the different ways we love and are loved.
I love this piece. Wanted to hear more.
thank you!

oh! i’m so sorry that happened. I have a delayed reaction to my own physical losses sometimes and I continued to hope they would show up
oof. the timing of this post is eerie and perfect as i too have been thinking about dead friends lately. (i mean, always, but especially so this week)
i think that paul is truly one of the most genuine people i have ever met. what a GEM.
sending love to you, dear hope <3
oof indeed, sending love to you too. glad to hear that about paul. I dont remember interacting with him much at the show.
