The visitor...

Me: yeah, to be honest I'm trying to distract myself from thinking about nathan
since he's gotten back to senegal I haven't talked to him
but he made one of my pictures his profile
and send me a short message
which is hard to read intol

R: thats sweet [the pic part]

what did his message say?

and i understand about keeping yourself distracted - i do that all the time
me: :)

Me: his message said
"Thanks for making my time in DC really enjoyable and memorable. Thanks so much."
which is really sweet, but at the same time, kinda makes me feel like crap

R: why does it make you feel like crap? like it makes you miss him?

M: yeah, but also kind of like he's thinking of it as a great weekend and nothing more
which is fine, and I guess what I expected

but I could also be reading too much into it
because I'm a girl

R: its super easy to want something to be more even if reality of the situation tells you it wont work
i totally get that
and i'm sorry :(

Me: its all good :)
thanks for being my sounding board for all this, I appreciate it

R: of course
i totally understand
you have to talk about it

keepin it in and then it all blowing up never turns out well for anyone


Me: yeah
so what does that message sound like to you?
what would you read into it?
:)

R: first off, i think its great he sent you a message

i think that says he was thinkin about you and sincerely wanted to thank you

i think he left it a little vague bc he doesn't want to hurt you - i.e. tell you something that he doesn't follow through on but he still wanted you to know he was thinkin about you he said enjoyable AND memorable

not only did he have a good time in the moment and when he was with you, its also something that he's put in his memory. and memorABLE implies a good thing :)

Me: :)
ok, I like your take on it

R: haha
good :)
