honestly, my parent said "i’m not mad, i’m just disappointed" and i immediately thought of how i recently did a full deep dive on my neighbor’s Pinterest. like, i went down the rabbit hole of their dream kitchen ideas and wedding colors, and suddenly i'm feeling their disappointment echoing through my entire soul. how am i over here planning imaginary home renovations while they’re just—totally ju...

it's not that i don't appreciate love, it's just that when someone said "i love you" to me, i panicked and replied with a solid "thank you" — like i was accepting a compliment on my shirt instead of someone's heart. does this mean i need to take a course in emotional responses or am i just committed to this weird version of gratitude for affection?
