#Skndksndfkae

[theearnestonion]

Throwback to the time when my friend on the bus told me something pretty personal, and I was so deeply honored that she trusted me to tell me but I had no idea what to say in response (beacause trust me when I say that I have never once ever in my entire life known what to say at any given moment, ever) so my mind is racing, right? Because if I sound too flippant she’s gonna think I don’t care but if I sound too serious it sounds like pity, and come on come on think what do I say—

and what comes out is: “Do you do hugs?”

guys.

“Do you do hugs?”

me @ myself: I’m sorry??? come again???

“do hugs” ??? Is that a phrase?

Sounds like I’m about to pedal this girl some sketchy back-alley drhugs.

At this point I am beyond certain I’ve messed this up horribly. But then.

She bursts out laughing. Her face just kinda lights up and she looks at me and tells me she thinks it‘s one of the cutest things she’s ever heard.

(it was a very good hug.)

I’ve messed up a whole lot of social interactions. But I think I did something right that time.
