Dear Stephen

Your stories on the Tobo files have really helped me through a hard time in my life. I have listened to episode 35 too many times to count. I ended a relationship with my college sweetheart about 4 months ago and felt all the feelings you described in episode 35. I’m sure your pain was greater than mine but it was good hear in a true life story that someone else had felt the way I did. I found your podcast shortly after the relationship ended and it helped me come through my depression that had held me so tightly since the breakup. It was only 2.5 years that I had been with her but so much had happened between us that she had become related to the survival part of my brain. Your little bits of wisdom and life observations have opened my eyes to new things and I have come to realize that life is like a movie but no one has told us it is scifi. I’m now in Sweden on a trip to celebrate finishing my competing of university. I’ve ended meeting a lovely Swedish girl and may just stay for a while. Going from the states and getting to this point in my life seems surreal. I don’t know how life could be so crazy but I have the three things that I need in life, math, phys. ed, and music. Being  fellow musician of sorts I heard that line and though it was pure genius. I hope that you keep on doing the podcast because your stories are inspiring and bring a unique perspective on life.

Thanks for the stories.
