[Following one disastrous coffee shop meeting by a couple hours.]
That did not go particularly well, and that is undoubtedly largely my fault. I knew the random people who showed up and I am used to that happening and I am not trying to navigate a new city and figure out who I can and cannot trust.
It isn't easy for us either. If we trust the wrong person it doesn't just hurt us, it can hurt everyone else we've brought in and told that they have a reasonably safe space now. I've seen what happens when something like this falls that way, and the short version is bodies and smoldering ruins. It isn't pretty.
You didn't do that. Odds are you wouldn't have done that. I should have remembered more of that and less a host of other things and not snapped at you.
Probably you're done with me, and that is fine. But, I wasn't lying, finding time to help you is a thing I would have done. I still would.
Probably the best help for now from me though is that you can reach L. at <email address>.
Wherever you decide you're going, I do wish you the best of luck.
-K.
