Is your friend/partner not answering your text? Please try to remember that them hating you isn’t the only and definitely isn’t the most realistic reason why that might be.

– Maybe they got interrupted by something or someone.

– Maybe they fell asleep.

– Maybe they’re busy working or studying or otherwise doing something important that requires their full attention.

– Maybe they’re in a situation where being on your phone is considered rude.

– Maybe they’ve put their phone on silent and forgotten about it because they’re busy with something else.

– Maybe their phone died.

– Maybe they got distracted by something and forgot that they they were supposed to answer you/that they hadn’t already answered you.

– Maybe the connection is shitty/maybe there’s issues with their internet.

– Maybe they’re having a bad day and don’t have the energy for chatting right now.

– Maybe they’re focusing so intensely on a hobby/interest, a conversation, a movie/tv show, etc, that they don’t even think of checking their phone

– Maybe they just aren’t on their phone right now. There’s a million valid reasons why that might be.

Please don’t jump to the conclusion that they are willfully ignoring you because they hate you – all of the above suggestions are far more likely.

i love seeing best friends goofing around in public. i love seeing couples laughing together. i love seeing little kids walking hand in hand with their parents. i love seeing dogs running happily back to their owners. i love seeing closeness and positive relationships, and knowing all that love is out there

Can I watch a great film knowing the actresses in it were terrorized and mistreated the entire time? Can I watch a football game knowing that the players are getting brain injuries right before my eyes? Can I listen to my favorite albums anymore knowing that the singers were all beating their wives in between studio sessions? Can I eat at the new fancy taco place knowing when the building that used to be there got bulldozed eight families got kicked out of their homes so they could be replaced with condos and a chain restaurant? Can I wear the affordable clothes I bought downtown that were probably assembled in a sweatshop with child labor? Can I eat quinoa?

Can I eat this burger? Can I drink this bottled water? Can I buy a car and drive to work because I’m sick of taking an hour each way on the subway? Whose bones do I stand on? Whose bones am I standing on right now?
