You were generous to not only be the key person there for me during all of it, but also to let me off the hook for being so in it."I always want the opportunity to be a better friend if there's something I unintentionally did. I know how busy and taxed you are – physically, emotionally, practically, so I don't expect any more from you ever.

For real, though. You're right.""I've become digitally paranoid. So yeah, I've been texting like I'm writing. Not like me talking. I didn't realize (sic) that until you pointed it out, but I see it.""On top of that, I'm over packaging simple things bc I've felt so deeply misunderstood that I don't trust my judgement of myself anymore..."She added an apology, writing: "So thank you for telling me and for saying I don't need to apologize (sic) and for not making it a big deal.
