There's someone on here who follows me, but I'm pretty sure they have me muted.
And I'll occasionally respond to their posts, because I love their work.

When I was 37 I was dating a woman who was 19. The thing that inspired me to break things off was hearing Pearl Jam's "Alive" on the radio - a song released 9 years before her birth she had never heard . In that moment I realized things would never work.
