It seems perfectly natural that you're sick of being in between the two "groups" I suppose. It doesn't give you a clear place to identify with and relate to. I say you're doing all this work to learn ASL, then you should use it! I know that you know that anyone who loves you will make whatever effort necessary to connect with you.

I really miss you a lot Kyle. Would there be any time this semester that would be good to come out and visit you?

i think you are amazing and i admire your maturity in handling the situation so much. small talk blows and you shouldn't have to act like you're into it. you deserve much deeper connections than that. i wish i could sit and talk with you way more than the 3 days i've seen you.
i have no advice to offer, my knowledge is extremely limited. but i'm not that worried because i'm positive you are a person who will always make all the right decisions.
i miss you <3

Don't apologize because you have no need to. You're having a rough time and it's completely understandable. I wish that there was something I could do to help, but...I'm pretty far away. I think it is a GREAT idea for you to meet some deaf people! It's always a good idea to meet people who share the same problems (that's a bad way to word that) and learn from their experiences. I wish I could do more for you hun. I love you and I miss you even though we haven't talked in a long time. I'm always here for you if you need a friend (hearing or deaf).

yes. yesyesyes.

you're developing a part of your identity that you need to be nurtured, and in order to do that you need to find community. that is a beautiful and important task, and it takes a brave person to step up and explore it

I WILL be coming to Deaf events with you, Kyle. Especially now that I will have the ability to do so come January. :) (giggles hysterically for a moment before coming to her senses) Anyway, love, you're beautiful, I'm proud of you, I know I throw those words out to you all the time, especially over the Internet, but I mean them every time. God, kid, I never get over you. You're one of the few people I know that NEVER fails to impress me. And that's a huge feat considering my unrealistically high standards I set for people. Then again, the reason I have such high standards is because you ARE the standard. Poor everyone else
