deleting the text of the last “composing a long and emotional text message” note on my phone so as to begin a new one, thereby avoiding cluttering my notes app

@rolltime ugh, I relate.
Honestly, that file emptied when that relationship was done. Looking back, it's such a relief to realize that emotionally fraught editing and re-editing and scrapping and re-composing is stuff I was doing to compensate for their near-zero allocation of emotional energy.
I haven't found myself in that process (at least with friends/loved ones) in at least a year, and it's fantastic.
Anyways, best of luck, that stuff isn't fun.
@starless Thanks for that. Thankfully these messages are for different people.
