Soma I get in this habit of
Making friends online
Writing them a letter
And never sending it

"Hi Lindsey, I hope you are well. It's been three months since I said I would send you a card, and this is the fourth thing I've written. I think I will just send all of them this time!"

Something about all the steps
between writing and sending
feels overwhelming.

or maybe I'm just scared they'll think my words are meaningless. Judgement always was my greatest fear.

Lindsey has nine letters now.
I never write a tenth.
