This week’s HeroPress essay

For a variety of reasons there wasn’t an essay this week. I decided to spotlight a selection of past essays, since we have enough now that there are many that people have never read.

It turned out to be a surprisingly emotional journey for me. So many details remembered, stories not told. I reached out to people I haven’t talked to since they did their essay, years ago. Reconnecting.

It was a very different release day for sure. Here is a selection of the tweets I sent through the day. I don’t think the images come through, which makes me sad, but that’s the way it goes.

Please do me a favor and click through to each of their essays and leave a comment, it’ll be a nice surprise for them. :)
