Not that nobody would answer. It's the six steps before you'd even send it.
Something happens, and there's a person you'd normally tell. Not urgent, nothing to solve, just the kind of thing you'd mention if they happened to be standing right there. Actually sending it means deciding who, working out how long it's been since you last talked, and figuring out whether the gap needs explaining first.
Six steps between having the thought and sending it. Most of it never gets that far.
i am thinking of texting her again
oh good grief
what has changed since literally yesterday 😭
nothing. that is the problem
right
so we are doing this
i mean
no no i am here. i am supportive
i am also going to say i told you so in about four days
noted
wait actually
are you ok? separately from the texting thing
not really
yeah. thought so.
Ebz, Tess, Jamie and Frankie are four separate numbers. What you tell one stays with that one, not shared with the other three. It isn't a one-time favor either: bring the same thing up again in six months, and it's still there.
Any of the four works. Pick whoever sounds like your kind of person.
