I completely relate to the shaking and barely knowing what words are ‘right.’ It’s that tightrope feeling that seizes me up and makes me feel like nothing will ever get better.
I didn’t want to seize up with you. I wanted to make our tiny corner better by being honest about my feelings even if it scared me. I know that’s what you’re doing too.
If we can keep talking, and being decent to each other while we do, and not stop when something hurts or scares us (or both) I don’t see why we can’t stay friends.
When I start a conversation here, I don’t mind continuing it here, but I know not everyone feels that way, and I understand. My equipment won’t let me respond to private messages from Medium. So any time you want to correspond privately I’d be happy to use email. My public email is available on request to you and other friends here.
I really appreciate your response Sherry, and I appreciate how much you pay attention to this stuff that so many people have so much trouble understanding. I see your heart in this. That means a lot to me. It makes mine hurt a little less. ❤️❤️❤️
