Lina

she told me last night. i care about her a lot. romantically it's a no.

i said i needed to think (true) and that i valued her (also true). now i'm scared every hang will be weird.

people who've been on either side — what helped.

    be clear sooner rather than later. soft nos that drag on hurt more. then give a little space without vanishing.

    been the confessor. clear kindness > ambiguous hope. i needed a couple weeks of less contact and then we were okay.
