(using "people who chose their own name" instead of mentioning trans people specifically because not all trans people change their name and not everyone who changes their name identifies as trans)

We need to go back to dealing with our trauma like early-mid 20th century male authors that fought in WWI or WWII

(by writing an epic novel hiding the trauma behind metaphors/fantasy/absurdism and characters that are a little insane)

Kurt Vonnegut had a way with words, didn't he? He's been one of my favorite authors since I read Slaughterhouse Five in the 70s. His books are brilliant, and his imagination knows no bounds. No one writes like he did. I miss him every time that i go to the library. He was eccentric and phenomenal, and he could transport me with his words. Thank you, Mr. Vonnegut. I reread your books every year, and I always find something new every time. I treasure the experience wholeheartedly. 😊😍🙏🏼

The truth is, we know so little about life, we don't really know what the good news is and what the bad news is.
