Notes from Dusk Desk - Story 12

(Beep. Music fades in.)

Hey, I got your message. And honestly I don’t know what to say. It’s not that I don’t understand what you were saying. More like, I don’t like the implications of it and how said implications line up with my experiences. Because I wasn’t surrounded with the sort of people that… Well, I’ll rip the bandaid off. I wasn’t surrounded with the sort of people who saw that boundary and knew to respect. Or who saw me as a person and knew to respect me. Maybe. Unfortunately. Look, it was this whole thing. And not all of it is relevant here. But yeah, I understand why you think this matters. I get it. The rest of that conversation can wait for a therapist. 

But for now, dear celebrant, keep secret what should be secret.
