I loved this Sam. I felt all of this. Have felt it. Continue to feel it. Do you realize you have just wrote about the plight of millions - for all sexes - and they can’t get it down on paper like you can as therapy. It’s all stuck in their head to fester. Or to become something worse and volatile. This is a genre - a terrain - I love to write about and have written about. “Breaking Down” is about a guy who gets laid off and the thoughts swirling atop his greasy hair. Anyway - lot to unpack here. All of it. All of it very very true. Keep up the good work and this series. Eager to see where it goes. You’ll be happy to know I read this entire piece on corporate time. I have done some of my best writing that way.
