Thank you Anita.

I did think you’d give me that advice and two days ago it didn’t seem like an option. However, since reading your reply I thought it through and I think I’ll do it.

If there’s anything beautiful in this world, it’s being loved. Why not to tell someone that you have feelings for them, that they compelled such feelings? They should know how wonderful they are.

Another reason why I’m thinking about it now is that I think I have a coronavirus case. I have very bad shortness of breath. I struggle for oxygen. I know I’ll likely end up in the ER. I don’t know if I’ll return from it. All symptoms match except for fever, but I never get fevers, and only about 90% of covid19 cases get fever, per data.

So I know I may not make it. I’m in my thirties. But this illness takes people that age too. And now that I feel like I’m suffocating, I can’t see a reason not to tell someone I like them. I think he knows anyway. But at least I’ll tell him in case I go. He’ll have that.

And that’s my message to anyone here with the same dilemma. Do it before it’s too late. Tell them they’re wonderful. You may not get another chance.
