i did something terribly scary. i told T i loved him. in a text.

me: is it wrong to feel like i have love for you? not romantic love or in love just that i love you as a person who has helped me so much. is that wrong or bad? i feel like i do love you but im not if its bad to express that.... and its scary. is it wrong? to say this?

T: No. its not wrong! it is natural and a very good sign. Like love for a parent

ive been going over this in my mind a lot lately, feeling like i have love for T but it also being scary and fearing that it's wrong and bad. i feel so relieved that i told him this and i am comforted by his response. it was super scary for me to admit this to him, i wanted to take the text back after i sent it. but now i feel better about it
