Either you can choose with great care a song that beautifully captures the sentiments of what your text back would have been or go pick without reason, even unbeknownst to yourself

i keep glAncing to my phone. not to scroll. not to distract mySelf. just to check. if you've answered me yet. a glance. a breath. a pAuse. nothing. the screen stays siLent. but still i look agAin. maybe i mIssed it. maybe the moment i stop cheCking is the moment you sEnd me that text. the one that i've been wAiting on all day. speculating what order of letters you will use. what words. what phraSes. which tOne. if your words will feEl like a whisper or a sHout. if they will hold me close or keEp me wandering.

this may not be in any way applicable to your situations:
what if you were to reply letting them know you got the message, you want to connect, but texting just isn't working for you — and instead could they Facetime or do a phone call or something realtime?
When I send you a text message or a whatsapp or signal or one of the many others then I am essentially giving you homework/an assignment. I put something in your inbox—on your to do list. Now you have to deal with this thing. My message, or insane flurry of messages, is going to sit there taunting and shaming you.
I've been part of so many group messaging threads and they can just become so way too much to point I can't even engage in that medium.
So I love the idea of communicating in a way that doesn't put a burden of response on someone—because it is happening in realtime. Instant messaging can be exhausting whereas a phone call or video chat can be life-giving. And when it is over, then it is over.

not doing this as much anymore these days, but the thrill this brings can't be matched by anything else. send that risky/regrettable text. then live in ignorance for 12-24 hours. it'll give your body time to forget why it needs to be nervous, and then you'll stumble across the text back when you least expect it. foolproof

Don’t ask Google etc. ask a friend instead to explain to you stuff:
Like yo can you explain fantasy football to me pls or do you know the income bracket so I can stay in this tax bracket or have you ever made caramel at home what should I be on alert for?
What qs do you ask your friends? Any surprising knowledge shared?
