===== You get a message from a friend: =====

: 

And you feel something in your chest relax.

Because you know what they’re telling you:

“I’m not trying to win you.”
“I’m not using persuasion settings.”
“I’m not gaming your psychology.”
“I’m here, imperfectly.”

There will be tags for this, the way there are tags for food:
* handwritten
* no assist
* drafted w/ AI
* optimized (some people will be honest about it!)

In some circles, unoptimized will become a flex.
In others, optimized will be expected—“don’t waste my time.”

But in romance, friendship, and apology?

A slightly awkward, fully human message will become a priceless artifact.

Because it’s the one thing you can’t scale.

If you want, I can do one last refinement pass where I:
* keep these 14, but tighten each one by ~20% (sharper, more punch), and/or
* swap out 2–3 weakest items based on what you think lands least.
