This was such beautiful writing, thank you for sharing. Side note, Delta is definitely pissing me off so I can understand how annoying the Diamond to Silver drop is (though AA hasn't fully convinced me to make the jump even as a card holder)

Oh Ira, I thought you sharing your realization that you are not for the soft life because of the text delay... so vulnerable, such beautiful way of describing how times have changed communication, and I related so much. We can move with the times and keep up with technology and still acknowledge that our hearts sometimes need more.

This was such gorgeous writing, I’m now a paid subscriber (embarrassing to admit how late I am to the party). Thank you for writing this.

Soft life (like so many things on social media) seems like a neutered and flat existence that fits well into the mold of social media, but collapses pretty quickly under the weight of reality. Bravo for not trying to chase a mirage

Thank you for making me feel seen and for feeling less embarrassed about listening to Abandoned Luncheonette every other week ❤
