I swore I'd never make a post like this but I really am in a predicament and could use some perspectives.

Okay. So.

Let's say you are considering a pretty big life change. For example, moving in and sharing a living space with a significant other that you became close to, here. But both you and this person have bonded! And you're all REALLY close with said bonded! Like, also significant other levels. Or family. Just really really close.

How

do you manage all of those moving pieces? Can you? I feel like I'm going to lose my hair stressing over this.

All of that makes logical sense. I fear it's the very much not logical, anxiety riddled part of me that's collapsing at the very thought of bringing it all up.

That's fair enough. It can be pretty tough to put yourself out there, even with people who care about you.

[ not like he'd know anything about that!! ]

If talking about it is too hard, what about writing a note?

[ ...! ]

A note. I hadn't thought of that.

Hey, it's a good thing I suggested it, then. You can think about what to say, too. Take it at your own pace.

Of course, now I have to worry about how to word said letter, but at least that's way more of a controlled environment than just trying to find my words on the fly.

That's what drafts are for, right? I'm definitely wishing you good luck. I'm pretty sure it'll be worth it, though, and maybe you'll find your loved ones are just as worried as you.

You don't have to tell me your name, but for the record, I'm Shiro. Feel free to contact me if you need any help with anything; I'm glad to give it.

I feel like if I did too many drafts I'd get lost on trying to make it 'perfect'.
