Hey KP17
Its a nice way to share a story, the focus on the context and not the details is something that really caught my attention from your post.
I have lent my things
Interesting angle, "lending" instead of giving. Like a limited resource, you would need that back at some point.
Why not create something valuable that can be freely and safely given away? Like a ticket to a concert, people don't "buy" the band or the stage, just the experience, and the tiny paper ticker, though easily produced and simple to give out, is as valuable as the "real thing". If they smash that (the ticket), the show can still go on without them
Until I turned over my drum and emptied it
could there be another way to go about this "So that nothing more could break, and nothing more could be shamed"?
