i used to do this more often, but people wouldn't reply very much and i became very self conscious of the fact that i was basically talking to myself in 10 people's dms/texts. is this something you've also run into?

@26GIRLS yes, absolutely. this exact thing has also made me self conscious!! i had to get over that bump though and into the mindset of like “no love is ever wasted”? i think about how i’m busy too, and i forget to respond to things, and i know the people i care enough about to shoot little texts off too aren’t ones who would purposefully ignore me. maybe they saw it in passing and it still made them smile. and if not?? i think there’s a lot of freedom in just letting yourself express love and appreciation without worrying about embarrassment. they don’t want to answer? they forgot to answer? at least i know it was something that made me feel joy to share with someone i love regardless of the outcome!

Double texting

Life is short. Set yourself free. Let’s stop playing these silly little games society wants us to play. Double text. Triple text if you have to. No one’s going to revoke your texting privileges.

just do it

Who cares, nobody is counting texts. I often think about that tweet that’s like “fuck a double text, I’ll send a quadruple text, buzz buzz me again bitch.” and it frees my mind.
