Texting The Person You Were Talking About

Have you ever been listening to a conversation while writing something down and then accidentally start writing down the conversation? Well don’t you just love it when that happens in your head. You know what I’m talking about. When you’re thinking evil, malicious thoughts about a person and then text it to them instead of the person you wanted to.

 

Yep. You’ve done it.

 

Maybe not evil, malicious thoughts. It might have been a confession of your love, or perhaps an admission of a guilty secret involving their ex and you at a party the other night. Basically not just sending a text to the wrong person… but to the worst possible person that text could have been sent to.

 

Dun dun dunnnn…

 

Oh the horror!

Oh the doom and gloom!

Oh the… oh wait…

Look at that….

 

The world is still turning.

 

No, my friends, the redness in your face is not foreshadowing the earth bursting into the flames of the apocalypse. In fact, if you sent Dan a text telling him that you hated him, loved him, or slept with his ex, chances are this conversation needed to happen anyways. But now instead of carefully planning the precise moment of this revelation, you were forced to dive right on into that one.

 

Your reaction will probably depend on what type of person you were as a nine year old kid. Yes those awkward years are coming back to haunt you.

 

No, I’m just kidding.

 

What I mean is when you were nine years old and you went to the pool in the summer, were you the kid that went in one step at a time until your body got acclimated, or did you go to the deep end, take a running start, and let gravity take care of the rest? Truth is, you probably handle the situation better if you were the one screaming, “Bonsai!” while your mother yelled at you for running around the pool. Luckily that tends to be the greater portion of the human race. However, if you are not the daredevil type, all hope is not lost.

 

Though you may not have been able to meticulously plan out every direction the conversation could have gone before you accidentally started it, you are more likely to have an honest talk with someone when you haven’t already planned out your escape route.

 

And anyways, in all fairness, if you were going to drop some kind of bomb like that on them anyways, technically all you did was level the playing field… just not in your favor.

 

And whether the conversation goes well or poorly, all you need to remember is that it probably needed to happen. If Dan now knows that you hate him, you can either fix it or move on instead of letting it fester in your soul until the situation self-destructs. If Dan now knows that you love him, hell who knows, maybe you’ll get together and make beautiful babies.
