I'm bad at texting. If I've left you on delivered, I'm sorry! It wasn't personal.

Here's what happens: I get busy with exams or deadlines, tell myself I'll respond after The Thing passes, and then:

  1. A new Thing immediately appears
  2. I forget I said "I'll message you in July"
  3. When I remember weeks later, I feel guilty, defer again, and the cycle repeats

Some other contributing factors / context:

  • I'm a "5 close friends > 20 weak ties" kinda girlie. The people in my inner circle easily get 85%+ of my social energy, and I try to show up 110% for them. That doesn't leave much bandwidth for acquaintances, even ones I genuinely like.
  • I'm mostly on SMS and email these days.
    • WhatsApp is permanently out; Signal will return when I'm prepping for the UK, but not before.

If you want to reconnect, please follow up– I mean it. If not, I completely understand.

I promise it had nothing to do with you.
