1 nanosecond is 30cm the distance an electrical signal travels on a copper wire in that short time how far does a word travel, before it degrades? further than a hug, to be sure what unit do we measure that in? area codes? subnet masks? how do i say that you matter, how do i send it so that it reaches you? what words do i use to show how desperately i want to smother your worries in hugs and homemade food? what phrasing is error-correcting so it reaches you as more than just another bunch of garbled pixels letters whose meaning twists into awkwardness and discomfort what do i say what do you hear when all i can write is 💙
really wishing i could gives hugs over the internet again
