I remember that stat... wasn't it something like 150? But the number of true connections is smaller.

Not possible w your writing, Simone! It’s totally coherent and flows well. I also liked your use of bracketed info. ALSO, Hamfisted is a great word! I had to look it up. 🤫💕🤣

Thank you, Ashley! I'm so glad that the nuance comes through. I was afraid this would read as corny and hamfisted, so your comment means everything 🥺💖
