I have a friend from film classes in university from two decades ago with whom I share a texting friendship. We text every few months – as that is my comfort zone with most friendships (and relationships in general) – to catch up on things in our worlds.
The most recent catch up was about the overused and annoying social media phrases…
So now, every text I send them has to start with, “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but…”
Tonight’s text was, “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but… The dark chocolate and seas salt oatmeal from Trader Joe’s is amazing with a scoop of unsalted crunchy peanut butter in it.”
I like to keep things topical. Of the moment. And at that moment, this is what I was eating for supper.
I ended the text with…
“Let that sink in.”
They may never text me again.
