my copy of survival songs just came in the mail! so happy that i finally get to read your work on paper. fyi, your writing saved my life--please keep in mind that you have an amazing talent and you have the power to change someone for the better; i happened to be one of those people. you always find a way to admit to the bad but showing that things might turn out better and maybe someday things might turn around. sorry im getting way too deep into this, but just really, thank you for saving me.

I’m glad your copy of Survival Songs arrived safely, and so happy that my work has had such a positive impact on your life. It’s always astonishing to me that my writing could really turn things around for someone, but nevertheless, I’m just glad it did for you.

Best of luck with everything!
