I believe I may have published another blog post with the title “What is essential?” However, I’m creating this post on my iPhone, which makes it more difficult to check past posts, and I’m deciding that knowing that is not essential.

I often take photos of things that are essential to me.
I essentially don’t know how these two images …

You and your cool comments are essential, my friend.
