Thank you for reading. It is a lyrical essay to be felt and interpreted like a poem. The personal essay is a personal essay that touches on universal themes. If I wrote about the death of a dog, maybe people who have never had a pet might not feel it the same as a person whose dog was shot. The people who resonate with this essay tend to be the feelers in the world. The empaths. but of course the essay is divisive. I like to write.
