Sometimes I think the mild stalker has given up. But no. Out of the blue, after weeks of peace & quiet, a fresh try at finding me.

The world's a very lonely place.

& it's a strange form of loneliness one feels, when a person refuses to leave you alone. Especially for feminized people, this yields a delicate balancing act around new people. Are they chill? Or will they develop gendered expectations of you that won't go away for months?

🙃 Most of the time it's OK.
It's the edge cases that suck.
