the dim send button is kind of the whole story. you wrote it for a reason, but 'didn't send' is also an answer. take your time.

I have a whole folder of unsent messages that probably did more for me than the ones I actually sent. sometimes writing it is the boundary.

you always get it. the writing was the point. some things just need to leave your head and sit somewhere else for a minute.

you knew before you typed it. the draft is just proof.

I've had to type that exact text more times than I can count. the unsent version is still a boundary. you did the work even if no one else saw it.
