my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning.

the average tech exec and venture capitalist and honestly an alarming amount of bay area software engineers have close to zero interaction or connection with regular people, and the richer they are, the more isolated they've become. They have built rationalizations for everything.

The best and most meaningful growth of my life has almost always come from doing things that are at least a little uncomfortable or a little scary. I think this is true for relationships too. If you try your hardest to make nobody mad at you, you will end up trying to please bad people.
