Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I sat down to write someone how much they meant and got three sentences in before it went generic

- There’s one person who genuinely changed the course of my life and I never properly told them
- There’s someone who quietly did something that really mattered to me and I never said a word
- I’ve actually written the thank-you out, but the thought of sitting across from them and reading it aloud to their face makes me want to just text it instead
