ok.
so like.
a new follower from stream last week told me this week that the long set we had in dnfd +all the hype i threw his way inspired him to get back into fighters he gave up on. he said my energy was contagious and that he felt motivated to try to improve no matter winning or losing.
he's not the first person to have said this to me, but. damn. this is what i started fighting friday for. and now it's crystallizing. bringing in new community members who respect the vibe. i'm so happy.
