Textpectations… You Had Me at ‘K’

I sent a “Sure, sounds good” at 10:03, ⏰
No emoji, no exclamation, simply just me. 🧍‍♀️
It seemed polite and calm and clear… 😌
Until I re-read it, then spiraled with fear. 😬

          -----------------------------

What if they think it’s passive-aggressive? 💥
Too blunt? Too cold? Emotionally repressive? 🥶
Should I have added a “haha” or two? 😂
Or thrown in a “no worries” my thoughts start to spew? 😳

          -----------------------------

I check my phone like it’s a bomb set to blow. 📱💥
No dots. No reply. Internal death row. ⌛
They hate me now… and that’s a sure fact. 😵‍💫
Why else would someone take ten whole minutes to react? 💣

          -----------------------------

I consider a follow-up: “Haha sorry, just tired!” 😬
But that feels unhinged, and falsely inspired. 🎭
Instead, I lie down and stare at the wall, 🛋️
Crafting apology drafts I’ll never send at all. 🧠📝

          -----------------------------

And when they reply: “No prob 👍 see you then,” 📩
I start the whole spiral all over again. 🔁
Was the thumbs-up too vague? Why not smiley face? 🤨
Overthinking whilst texting… it’s my happy place! 🐱💭
