lol do you not get that i like you a lot? because i don't get how much clearer about it i could've been like, to the extent that it's honestly embarrassing. so i don't really understand how you could even ask me that? i wouldn't have tried so hard if i didn't think you were worth salvaging. but you're the one who actually has to start being a good friend. you have to actually want to because you owe all of them them some explanations. and apologies.
it makes things a lot easier if you're just honest. i don't know why you're forcing yourself to go through this alone.
