Dear Retro Me,

Let me begin by expressing my deep concern and pondering over the path we have taken. It seems as though the memories of who I envisioned you to be have slipped away from my grasp.

Tall and proud, cast in shadows, the silhouette of a man,
A figure forged from fire and pain, his spirit steadfast, a fan.

Perhaps I’m crucifying myself
By thinking I can show others the way.
Am I doing more harm than good?
Are my efforts misguided?
Or can I guide them…read more
