Of the 8,000 texts I send a month (probably more... hehe) I think there is something to say about the texts we've never sent. Texts we've drafted in our minds or even with our furious thumbs, only to be discarded against our better judgment. What's so harmful in a little 100 character message? It could actually change someone's life... sticks and stones, remember?Here are some texts I never sent.... just off the top of my head.... Good morning! I just wanted to say hey! Oh, and you kind of popped up in my dreams the last two consecutive nights and couldn't help but spark my curiosity of how you are. You don't have to respond to this. I erased it and try it again. It sounded too jovial. Hey! What's up? I hope you've been doing really well... I'm kind of haphazard to text you because I know what it would do to me if I received a text from you. But we're different so you might be okay. Anyway hope you're having a great day you deserve it Wow that was too suggestive. Hey ...It's me. Not to sound like the beginning of an Adele song... You know how we both feel about Adele. I miss you. I don't intend for those words to wage war, or for it to really be taken anywhere. I just mean them. That's way too heavy to put on a phone line shared by millions. Hey kid! Hope you're kicking ass and taking names and then, like in Family Guy, "giving those names to other guys you kicked their ass." Humor is the best medicine, right? I know you're living your life without me but.. Damn, am I starting some punk rock song? asldjfoem Tequila always knows what to say. Hey! I know you're doing your thing, but I just wanted to pop-in and say hey. Have a stellar day:)) Text after text message, I kept jumping back in. But why do we choose to reserve or delete these words from being sent through cyber/phone space in the matter of seconds if we can send a follow-up text with **** or "my bad" or the ever popular, "I was drunk?" I don't know about you guys, but for me, it's because words are not that easily forgiven and in many cases impossible to forget-- ESPECIALLY if they are from someone you care about deeply.Well, fine! Baha real mature. 2-year-old tantrum, 26 years past your prime. Happy Friday! Hey how's work and stuffs.... I don't know why this is so difficult. This should be someone that I can talk to. But, there becomes a point where the talking is not safe. These messages or longing for them should be tapered over time. Over means over so many things; finished, kaput. So, supervising myself from sending things you can't retract and won't have a positive impact, is crucial. With great texting, comes great responsibility.... Wait, is texting even great? Sigh. I'll just go bake a cake or something... *fork ready* Good grief, let's have a quiche!Whip 5 eggs, 1 cup of milk, seasonings (basil, Cajun seasoning, pepper, garlic), 2 cups of cheese (of your choice shredded), and veggies of choice (1-2 cups). Pour this into pie shell of your choosing and bake, baby bake.

This one is really vulnerable actually because posting those texts we never end up sending can be so terrifying, emotional, raw, yet telling of what’s actually going on in our minds. I appreciate your transparency, Steph. ❤️❤️❤️
