The people whose opinions I so respect that it feels as if their love for me somehow increases my worth. Those who’ve passed out of your life for whatever reason, whom you miss but are better for having known. If you’ve lost touch with them, think about what reconnecting might feel like. Tell us: Who are the people who make you feel that you should be “paying admission”? What are you thinking and what do you want to know?
