11:00 p.m.

UPDATE:

I had █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ where it felt like the whole ████████████████████ was calling in to check on me.

In my head, it played out like █████████████████████████ saying, ███████████████████████████████████████████████████

I even pictured ████████████████████ working ’round the clock.

Then I imagined ███████████ speaking in a confident tone, the way he does in public interviews.

In that imagined version, he compared his ███████████████████████████ to mine, and I took it as a reminder that I still have a lot to learn.

I also caught myself thinking about ████████, but I don’t want to turn real people into targets for ██████████████████████████████.

So I’m leaving that kind of material out, including any ████████████████████████ and anything that could be read as ███████████.

What I really mean is simple: if respected ██████████████████ ever did speak to █████, their advice would carry real weight, and I hope it would be steady and responsible.
