"i used to like texting better"

i text a lot. i don’t like phone calls. i can manage them on a daily basis now, for work and whatnot, but i would still prefer texting over calling anytime. being able to put thought into the things i write gives me more calm.

yet lately it has felt like every time i text, i’m just sending a notification to thin air. and partially—that’s true. people have lives to live, and things to do. i know people who hate texting like how i hate phone calls too, so i get it. i do.

but the loneliness comes anyways.
