IDK why it took me so long to finally get around to reading this whole essay properly but I finally did and !!!! It's so gooddd. I really liked itttt. Really like the idea of ancestor worship (future or past!)–– it does makes a lot of sense, I will try it out. Inshallah, over life, I will also hopefully try my best to pick up live storytelling as a skill before I am an elder bc the movies vs. campfires thing is too true. I wish there was more about story diets because I feel like that's suchhh an interesting topic to explore. I wish this would get more attention!! I want to browse through the comments/discussion about it even more
Phenomenal essay. I’m going to print out photos of my grandparents tonight.
That's the spirit!

Thanks Mia! Haha I wish it would get more attention too but I'd rather it hit fewer people on a deeper level than the opposite - glad you enjoyed it!
