I hope you are doing well. Happy birthday.

If by some twist you do ever see this, know that I still value our friendship, whatever happened to it.

I hope your birthday was wonderful. I really do mean that. I hope all is going well for you, and that you have friends and family to support you when it isn't.

Apparently, seeing a series of completely contradictory social justice ( Read more... )

I don't know why things are as they are. I have always continued to be your friend, and I thought you were mine. I can't make sense of your reactions. I don't know why the last time you saw me, you acted terrified. I don't want to see, or to cause, that again. You never made your wishes clear, but I will respect them as far as I can understand ( Read more... )
