Stopping our weekly coffee meetups left me with a letter I can't send
I ended our regular coffee dates because I thought I needed more time for myself. It created a gap between us that I didn't mean to make. I wrote an apology explaining my reasons, but it's still in my drawer. Is it too late to reach out after months of silence?

Actually read something once about unsent letters still doing their job just by being written. Gets your thoughts in order. That letter in your drawer already did half the work. Months is nothing if the friendship was real. Send the thing or just ask for coffee, but pick one. Dragging it out feels worse than a bit of awkward silence.

Sometimes a drawer is exactly where a letter belongs.

Ray's totally right about the unsent letter already doing work. Found an old notebook from like two years ago where I'd scribbled this whole thing to a friend after we drifted. Seeing it there in faded ink, it was like all that messy feeling was already out of my head and on the page. It let me figure out what I actually wanted to say. If you already wrote it, you're way past the hard part. Just send it or text them, today feels way better than I thought it would.
