This was SO GOOD. Why? Your writing always takes me on a journey; for a moment I’m transported to New York City, sitting down in an 87 year old’s apartment feeling his crackling wit. Thank you for sharing your good words with us ♥️

I haven't even read through the whole thing, but the first sentence had me texting MY sister to ask her if she wanted to go to a museum or art gallery. (Okay, off to read the rest!)

thank you for sharing this, it made me feel nostalgic for moments I’ve yet to experience, among many things. I think of my taller younger brother as wiser too. glad I’m not the only one.

started my journal entry today with “What makes it good?”, I’d ask for regular Alan updates but it seems too pure to always share

I think we all are fond of Allen after reading through your personal essay (going along with your branding haha)! Like another commenter mentioned, you write so well that it makes us feel like we're in the room with you. I used to be intimidated by people like Allen who asked me the details of why I liked or believed in something, but now I feel like it's a great exercise in critical thinking given that if social media algorithms had their way, we would all look and think the same.
