Hello Ernie, I’m very sorry to hear about your friends.

I did not miss the protest, I saw them everyday. 
I also heard all the ambulances during the night of the fire à Collective and saw my friends collapsing and crying over the phone.

I didn’t talked about it because that’s exactly the point of this article: not talking about the harsh part AT ALL, but only about the good things. And hopefully giving a bit of optimism.

I’m not surprised, and I understand your reaction.
I hope you can understand the angle of this article.

Until then, have a good evening
