Pride for a nearby city is coming up, and I really want to go, and I would love a specific friend of mine to come with me. Simple. Problem? I can't seem to ask if they would like to come. My stomach is all twisty and I'm getting lightheaded just trying to draft a text message. This isn't a big deal, right? I'm out to them, they're cool with me, I'm freaking out for no reason. Gah. Gotta take some deep breaths. It's just words. I can do this.
