Chat

I really enjoyed our chat last night, my love. I'm sure I had a big dumb smile on my face for most of it, and you'd best believe I hope we have many, many more…

But, man. I really need to get better at it. Get better at avoiding conversational cul-de-sacs. Get better at coming up with witty comebacks (I know I'll never match you there… but I can be better at it than I am now). Learn how to not stare at the gif keyboard trying to find some funny reaction until you have mercy on me and move the conversation along, lol.

Learn how to use those chats to ask you questions I've been dying to ask you. A skill I need to get better at, regardless of what medium we're using to communicate…

Learn to push myself to at least try to continue the conversation, even if the current topic seems to have dried up… If you hadn't wanted to talk to me anymore, your green dot would've gone away. But it didn't, not for a very long time.

Well… I think we're both finding our footing a bit. We've chatted here and there over the years, so it's not entirely new, but… this is a whole new level. And at least for me, the stakes feel so much higher than they ever have before…

But I'm certain we'll figure it out. And of course, the way to get better at a thing is to do it more. So… the way I see it, we just need more practice. Loooooots more practice.

And I dunno about you, but that doesn't sound so bad to me. Not bad at all.

Love you, beautiful. Chat again soon?

Yours,
