| > I will genuinely reflect on this And I genuinely appreciate that. Your care does shine through in those words. To me, you don’t need to say more… I don’t desire to be agreed with more than I desire peace for your life. You’ve said you don’t seek “connection” at the office, and without knowing exactly what that means to you, I can’t assume that you’re seeking it here either. So, take this as you will: You made me feel listened to. To me, that’s enough. Thank you. (And yes, I’d probably put an emoji here if I could, chosen to emphasize gentleness and compassion. Likely a leaf, a sprig, or one of the non-romantic flowers. To me, this all feels so heavy without it, and lightening the words would undercut them. Maybe a sparkle… idk. I wouldn’t normally think about it, but it seems important to say out loud, here. When you read this, maybe you can picture a little flower, just meant to help you believe that I really do care how what I’ve said makes you feel.) |
