I thought I’d finally figured it out; I suppose I was wrong
I really, really just don’t know. I’m not sure where my head is at, and I’d feel disingenuous saying anything contrary to that. Part of me feels like all of this is part of some plan intended to teach me something, but it’s hard for me (especially me) to believe that without proof.I thought I knew what I wanted.I thought I knew what was in front of me (I was going to say: “thought I knew what I had” but that felt unfair to say/assume).
But the only thing I know now is that I’m more alone than I thought I was.
I guess it might be something similar to, like, how an author might? Or maybe it’s closer to what a reader might feel regarding the one-sidedness of the creator-appreciator relationship.

Reaction: It makes a huge difference.
Putting bias aside, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s the part people are stuck on We’ll see how people react over time.

Real talk, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that tension shows up immediately That’s what changes the context. Curious how this plays out. Others will probably see it differently.
