So I’m pretty damn lucky. I have amazing family and friends.
There’s this secret side project I have. My code name for it is Project Longbottom. I’m not going to tell you what it is, because until it’s done and I’m ready for you to see it, it’s a secret.
But I can’t do it entirely by myself. I need support. I need people to talk to about it openly, bounce ideas off, get feedback, show off to.
That sort of support is a big emotional labor.
And you know what?
I have boatloads of it.
Which stuns me. Between my wife, my girlfriend, my poly sister and brother, and an amazing cadre of various friends, I have a shortlist of about 20 people who I can go to, and who are cheering me on to make this thing real.
They talk with me on the phone. They text with me. They hang out with me on slacks and discords. They listen, they suggest, they guide. They ooh and ahh when I show off.
They’re my support crew
I am so damn grateful for that, and for each and every one of these people in my life.
Thanks, all of you.
