Thank you, Alex!!! This is much appreciated, especially from a guy with whom I’ve been in the comics trenches for longer than either of us would likely care to admit!

You're not alone. I find myself wrestling with these issues and having to deal with racism on top of all this. I am rooting for you.

I deeply appreciate your posts. I get bitter about a lot of things in life as well, but I suspect that’s part of the journey. The bitterness encourages me to let go of the things that don’t matter — like external validation — and cling to the things that do, like the beauty of creativity.

It’s a lesson I have to relearn all the time, and your posts help me do so.

Billy, this is so incredibly nice to read; thank you for being so honest and vulnerable. Speaking for myself, I find that logicking out publicly why there's no point to being bitter is an extremely useful way of holding one's self accountable.
