Its a form of digital communication.

Communication is the way in which we connect to each other.

Despite this logic, a lot of the discussion around texting these days caters to the exact opposite.

Why do you want to text him?

Do you want to text him because you actually want to talk to him?

You saw something that reminded you of him?

You want to see how hes doing?

Or are you texting him because youre questioning how you feel and you want him to somehow reaffirm something?

Are you texting him just to see if hell respond?

If you dont know the true answers to this question, go with how your gut feels.

Its unfair to put that on another person, no matter how big or small the scale is.

Why do you feel like you cant?

You are acting from a place of insecurity and desperation rather than one of friendship and emotional intimacy.

Vulnerability is scary, but it really makes everything else worth it.

Really, he should just be happy to be talking to you.

Whoever reached out first only has as much significance as you are willing to give it.
