Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I wrote the kind words down but they still feel like information on a page, not something I’ve actually let myself take in
• 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
• There’s a hard thing from a while back that keeps replaying in tangled fragments and I’ve never sat down to actually put it into words
• In a hard moment the critic talks so fast and so loud that any kinder thought never gets to finish
• There’s someone I owe so much to but I can’t actually send it
