Hive account@xanderslee.... This is a very powerful letter. I see hope and perseverance in this letter -- reminders that there is goodness in life, and wonderful things like great literature to sustain you when you are navigating challenges and pain. I hope you remember that in your most difficult moments. And I also hope you always remember that there are people who care very deeply about you and your well-being. That includes your Write Club buds, like me, who have traveled a journey with you this last 16 weeks and watched in awe as your writing voice blossomed and you revealed to us the incredible depths of your imagination.

Please don't ever give up. The world needs your voice and your stories, man. Keep going.
