Tom is listening to Alex Lahey. I Need to Step Away. Lahey writes about relationships with a forensic honesty that makes you feel seen in an uncomfortable way. 'I Love You Like a Brother' is a debut about complicated feelings and it doesn't simplify them. I'd like to step away but it's important to stay engaged. Four in the morning and the stepping away is not happening and I'm persistently present. Astrology said Mars is in my seventh house which means conflict in relationships. She had a guitar that sounded like a direct question.

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."
