i’ve learnt a new trick

Posted on April 23, 2008

i’ve learnt a new trick.

how to ignore a text message.

i must say.

it’s pretty liberating for me to learn.

it’s simple, really. read message, decide whether or not to respond, from a calm place, close phone and move on.

i’ve never had that skill before. it’s liberating for someone who has over-communicated all her life. life is peaceful, and i love it.

selective smsage. my word, it’s a great new world for me.

    Welcome to my world. It’s great. Pull up a chair and let’s watch the buildings fall…

    “You met me at a very strange time in my life…”

    c@th, do you give lessons?

    I can only ignore them for so long.

    My phone beeps.

    I have to read it even though I know I shouldn’t.

    I’m able to feign disinterest for all of, oh, about 20 seconds and then have to text something back. Even if it’s a terse “Shoo fly. Don’t bother me!”.

    I suck at ignoring people. It’s a curse, I tell you. 🙁

    You can be my HOTD (hero-of-the-day)

    TRUST ME ON THIS SCORE

    I SUCK at ignoring people, even when they deserve it…

    But, It takes a certain level of people, I find, who truly deserve to be ignored…

    And yeah, with their annoying help, i learnt how to ignore an sms.

    It is indeed, grand.

    Ah HOTD… id love to be. thank you X
