Oh wow can I relate the this! The number of times that I have felt - for the last 57 years! - that what I want to say has been said and therefore I shouldn’t say it. All. The. Time. (And I would even say doing a . between each word is a cliche - but it adds the oomph behind my meaning and gosh darn it - I like it.)

I’ve had to, like you, just hit send or just say the thing. And I really didn’t do that until, like, last week. It’s super hard.

How are you feeling about expressing yourself in cliches now? And I’m curious about the Romeo and Juliet reference because I don’t know it. And saying that is hard too - I should be smarter than that, right? Oh the agony of having a voice and wanting to use it…
