We're still on break! We're taking a little time to catch our breath and refresh the format of the The Together Show. In the meantime, we're reading essays – usually those we publish at Together Magazine.

I wrote today’s essay, as part of a forthcoming book I'm working on, so it hasn't been published anywhere in written form. I'm going to keep it that way for a while.

Please don't be shy about letting us know if you have any ideas for what you'd like to see in our next iteration. We love hearing from you. You can email Erik at [email protected]. Or contact us on our Facebook page, Twitter or on Instagram @together_show.
