Transcription
pouring of words. No silence. Constant narrative. No interest in listening. How much truth do friends owe one another?
This work in the organization has forced me to confront people, lose relationships. I know I haven't handled it all the best way.
Friendships/relationships changed or ended. The body count has risen through this work. I am not proud of this.
