Dear M,

Some stuff from this weekend has got me afraid of being around men again. I was worried this might happen, but then the weekend passed and all was well in the end, so I figured I was out of the woods. But then I thought about seeing you on Monday and the feeling that came with it was terror. There are some parts reminding me that we're good, you've earned my trust and I love you, but there's one who just doesn't get it and is so scared and in pain and desperate to be heard.
