asked someone out. she said no, kindly, no drama. i should feel proud i tried. instead i keep replaying it like i did something embarrassing by wanting anything at all.

what do you do with the sting when there's nobody to be mad at.

    knowing is still better than guessing for months. the sting is just your nervous system catching up.
