another reason i haven't been sleeping well.

[subjective]

dear you,
when you continually use words like ma'am & she & girl to talk to/about me, & i don't correct you every single time, it's not because i don't notice or don't mind. if i don't correct you it's because i'm tired of doing so in every conversation we have, & i'm unwilling to keep telling you it's okay when you explain again that it's really hard for you. it sucks that if i don't correct you i have to worry that i'm giving you the impression that i'm not really who i say i am or that it's not really a big deal. it is a big deal. please try harder & if you make a mistake please own the mistake, correct yourself, & move on.

i really love you a lot.
