Naming it
the almost-sent message
Naming it
Naming it
The lines
there's a name for typing a message and deleting it.
you type the whole thing out. you read it back. you delete it.
your brain is running a simulation. it plays the reply before you get one.
it's rehearsing rejection so rejection can't surprise you.
but a simulation is not a reply. you only get the real one by sending.
