Simon Heathcote — — This story opened up my heart crushed it and built it back up again. This was so open and vulnerable, and exactly the kind of writing we like to encourage at BNG. Thank you for putting this forth and for showing us who you are — — it is so lovely. There was so much juicy goodness in this fruit you have laid at our table. The honesty and heartbreak of growing up, your struggles with addiction. And the thing that really hit me, the core of your piece was the story of where the gods hid the secret of life… in our own hearts. This just hit home. I think this is something everyone can relate to. We hide from ourselves constantly, and yet once we truly open up, we have everything within ourselves we need. So lovely. Well done, my friend.
