" you’re getting good at remembering to say just kidding at the end of every self-deprecating joke. at tagging on an lol when the text seems too angry. queen of backtracking, champion of invalidating your own feelings, a professional at wanting them to understand, but also wanting them to stay comfortable. you’re getting good at ending on a positive note. on a high note, just a half step above what they’re all expecting.
