Talked over my thoughts and feelings, and untangled them in the children-of-night channel after a few weeks of radio silence. Talked about the mutual, name-dropped him because it forces me to get to the point. Rehashed the friend vs. work thing, and I worked it though and I thought, you know, he is aggravating, and he does make me sad. But other things make me sad too, and a lot of the time he’s just fine. So I think the true judgement is that he’s… kind of mid? A nice mid, even a cute mid, but mid. Average. Normal. Which is totally fine. Overvaluing and undervaluing him in some kind of self-spite is ultimately a distortion.
