it's dire(ted, is wh7 i'm (alling it 7earning. there are people i am 7earning for, and our relationship isn't where i want it to be. ma7be "good 7earning" and "bad 7earning" aren't the right terms, be(ause it does su(k, but. i dunno. two different t7pes of 7earning. loneliness in both of them, i think. kind of hard to untangle these feelings in general, i think

7eah. i know what i need to do, at least. i'm probabl7 just overthinking things again
