reading this piece made me realize what incredible writing is. what i’m trying to express by ‘incredible’ is: i realized why i read the entire piece in one breath, one sitting, one go during this age of shortened attention span and stimuli overload is because: the writing is simply so breathtaking that you can’t do anything else than to fully devote yourself to immersing in its pace.
