In this cigarette, I reflect on the summer that slipped away—between Unemployment, Movie Depression, my mother’s sudden return to Iraq, and the silence that came with her absence. I’ve always lived without a father, but never without a mother… and that changed everything.
This is not just about work, or family, or time.
It’s about loss, responsibility, and how quickly life can unravel.
I’m going live this Sunday, October 5th at 11:00 a.m. PST for my 1,000 subscriber special. A full Q&A. And my first ever livestream. You’ll drop your questions, and I’ll answer them live.
I want you to get to know me—the person behind these cigarettes. Because there’s too much on my shoulders, too many words to leave unsaid, and not everything can fit into a single cigarette.
See you Sunday.
