* choosing to forget that we’ll both die one day,

* before the lesson at least she gets a little

* than I can pay for her electing to
* forget with me that we’re both going to die
* one day.

* with bad lighting in East Dallas, 2019. I had just gotten a divorce, rented a house, and
* había mudado con mi hij@ de tres años el mes antes. En 2019, no tenía ningún idea
* that what I was writing and recording on my every-other-free-weekend was an EP that I
* would finish in my bedroom the week I’d get laid off from my dream job in Los Angeles, 2024.
* Bonus
