As someone who has experienced those doubts, and also unintentionally hurt someone, this essay felt like a clear, orderly version of my own thoughts, regret and the remaining self doubt. Thankyou for writing this.

Beautiful works. Here right now in that inbetween, I wrote a poem about it if you’d like to read!

Great post, Harls. It sucks when you are left holding the connection, the space, and the emotion all alone, all of a sudden. You learn quickly that it really sucks, and if you are lucky, you may learn how to spot it sooner the next time, and there will be a next time, which in the long run is a good thing. It means you still care about yourself enough to find love because you deserve love.
