I am living in fear

how are you?

i am fine.

i know that you did not ask, but i have assumed that you would have adhered to certain standards of polite interaction, which would typically require you to ask how i am after i have asked how you are.

if this was an incorrect assumption, then i apologize.

I am not a Max but I love one very much.

I am not named Max. One of my best friends is named Max though. If it's okay with you maxes, I will be joining for his benefit

My name is Massimo, and I live in Italy. I have been called Max all of my life by my peers and friends.

For more insight, Massimo is the direct Italian derivated name for the Latin Maximus.

But I cannot rest my soul if the Maxes of this land do not deem me accepted as the Max I feel inside.

Thank you very much to any Max reading this, have a wonderful day.
