Technology For Good — Expressing Love More Openly in Texts

I recently met a new friend who is unabashedly loving in their texts, and I don’t get any sort of romantic or weird vibes. How often do you express (platonic) love in texts? When you don’t know each other well?

I can now see that I have been choosing fear over love—in the name of protecting the connection (what if they think i'm weird?), but the connection was lost by denying my true expression! (Defenses do what they’re designed to defend against, a classic A Course in Miracles concept).

With love, Jordan
