A recurring theme through the raver letters in Requiem for My Rave, and even now in the reviews for my book, are a very similar message: You saved my life.
I never shirked from this responsibility. I always knew the stakes were high. That was why I did what I did.
Looking back, I admire that young-self version of me. All that responsibility thrust onto the shoulders of an early 20-something. In many ways seen as a father figure, even though just a young kid myself.
I did the best I could with what I had, and I’m proud of what I accomplished.
I’m proud to share those memories today.
I’m extremely proud to hear your stories.
