Tim, first of all, thank you for choosing Counter Arts to host your essay. This is such an excellent piece of writing, it shows that you spent a long time crafting it, you've done it wonderfully well in my opinion. A very personal story, yet relatable and applicable to many I'm sure.

Congratulations on your 7 years - that alone is an exceptional achievement. I'm looking forward to reading more submissions from you (all in good time obviously) - Sadie
