God, this is beautiful. It’s like a gentle rewiring of the co-existence of so many thoughts. I could almost feel the magnetic pulse of your wonderful thoughts under my skin. I’m in awe.

this is excellent. as someone who also grew up in czechia, i can definitely resonate with the influence of the post-soviet mindset. hard to break free from. but not impossible. and so so freeing. what a refreshing piece of work. thank you. 🤍
