Brilliant essay 🤍 I have always had a love for musical instruments so the fact that you have written this joyous and witty piece is so perfect for me :’) reminds me of how I was obsessed with this anime called Nodame Cantabile that features an oboist as one of its characters

You’ve got a beautiful way of writing Charlie. So light and smooth. It almost felt as if I was playing the oboe flowing through this essay! x

so sweet, so simple for you to articulate exactly how you're feeling. An inspiration for young writers like me!!! Your writing has made me cry twice (2) (II) (Dos) times now.
