This is the last thing that I ever feel the need to and ever will say about the chapter of my life between 2020 and 2024.

I will never open those pages up again to reminisce.

Those who may come looking for me to talk about the chapter of my life they consider to be my best can find this response to that perception.

Ever since returning from the public vigil for Jacob Albright, my mind has been overcome by a lot of thoughts.

The ones shared in this episode are the ones that I thought may be of use to others as well.

My mind has been heavy since attending the vigil for Jacob Albright over the weekend at the Kenosha County Courthouse. I thought I'd share a few of my thoughts to simply get that out of my mind.

Kevin Mathewson of Kenosha County Eye stole this video from the Observer and posted it to his personal YouTube channel without giving the Observer any credit, and to gain his own views from it.

This is highly unethical, and I demand he take it down and do his own work.
