    The term Phantasm is going to haunt me. Not just recognizing it in others but in me.

    Also, I’m curious if it bothered anyone here but the question “Is Seattle a clean city?” an incredibly loaded question that wasn’t addressed.

    I’ve been trying to capture this idea for years! I’ve been trying to explain to my friends and family that we’re all susceptible to this “magical delusional thinking” that somehow we believe we are immune too when in fact we are not.

    Thank you Abigail for finally giving me the word that captures the idea to provide me mastery over it!
