Maedlynn had not changed him; she only made him realize how much he merited love and made him remember the gifts his parents had given him: the gift of self-love, self-confidence, and compassion for those who deserved the same but were not fortunate enough to inherit it.

Wilder was a great dude, always up for talking games and DnD. I will miss his morbid sense of optimism and his dark humour.

Just got a message that a friend of mine I hadn't seen since July has passed away.

We always say, "Check on your friends". We used to check in every holiday, and the last time I heard from him was Canada Day. He didn't message me for the holiday yesterday.

Please, check on your friends.

One of my students refereed to a song about the 7 continents and 5 oceans as a "fire track".
