Hello Sang, thanks for your great work. I’m a single dad with a disabled child to care for. I lost my wife last year in a car accident. I was in deep grief for the huge lost I had to endure to this day. But I have to be strong for my kid. I don’t make enough money because I have to take care of my little kid helping him with every aspect of his life. I have watched your recent videos which inspired me to be kind and to be strong. You are a good force in the world purely wanting to help people. I want to learn from you and make a little more money for my kid. As a single father with a disabled child, life is hard. Please give me a chance to join your discord server which could permanently change me and my child’s life. I want to provide more for my boy. My discord nickname is riki027459. Please give me and my child a chance and you won’t regret it. Much much thanks!

I'm so sorry for your loss, and admire your will and love for your child. The Discord server is full at the moment because it grew too quickly and we're making changes to it so that it can support the growth but I will send an invite to you directly through your discord username - see you there!

Sang, Your work feels inclusive in a way that assumes everyone is you. And I actually believe that’s true. As a child, I lived that way. I wanted to cheer others on because I felt the collective would advance together. There wasn’t separation. When I moved to NYC at 15 to dance ballet, competition descended. That’s when I began to feel separate and “less than.” But that story isn’t true. The separation isn’t real. The collective doesn’t advance by one person winning. It advances when someone remembers we were never actually divided in the first place. Your inclusiveness is radical. It’s a return.

And somewhere, that fifteen-year-old in New York is realizing she was never “less than.” She was just temporarily auditioning for a story that was based on expressing a kind of pain and regret that the teachers and directors believed. I didn’t believe it but it wore away at me and because it had the monicker of NYCB attached to it I bought it.

And frankly, I think I’m ready for a rewrite and your whole attitude is inspiring. Thank you

Can’t wait to join your discord server soon

I assume every day is my last, which drives me to get shit done on purpose.
