No. Writing it down is so much worse. I didn't know how much I hate writing letters until recently. But I hate it. You have so much time to think about what you're going to write. You have to commit to it so much. It sucks, dude.
--Anyway, even just spending time with people counts as a gesture, I think. It's not about it being something big. It's about the fact that you're thinking about someone. When you picked out books with me for the library after Marina died, that was a gesture.
I think you're better at it than you think you are.

If you write me this week, you can write about anything you want, okay? It doesn't have to be meaningful. Even just hearing from you would make me happy.
Okay. I'll write again, then. I'm running out of stuff to say and it feels like a waste of your time if it isn't meaningful, but since you said that's fine, I can do it.

Maybe... start small? Or... show it through your gestures, instead of your words.

You can even tell me about good food you ate! Especially through the doors... then I can at least enjoy it vicariously through you.

[ EUGH. ]
But sure. Then I won't tell you now, so that I've got something to write about.
