Some Words From The Girl Who Can't Text Back

I'm really sorry but I probably still won't text you back...

Some Words From The Girl Who Can't Text Back
Hanna Case

Hi family, friends, and any human unfortunate enough to try to contact me:

Here's the thing. The first step in the recovery process is to admit that you have a problem, right? Well, I have a problem alright, and I'm sure you've all noticed. It's something that I have been struggling with since the age of 13 when I received my first cellphone. It's hard for me to admit, but it's gotten to the point where it has to be said.

I do not respond to your messages, like ever.

This problem of mine isn't quite the problem for me personally, but it's more of a problem for all of you guys. I'm sure it leaves you all feeling angry, frustrated, and annoyed with me. I'm 900 percent sure that at some point in time I've left you all a little...

or internally thinking...

But I'd like you all to know that this is my fault, not yours. Normally, after a few times forgetting to text or message one of you back, I'd rattle off some silly excuse or tell you why I was ignoring you. It's gotten to the point where I've run out of excuses. Chances are I won't be messaging you back right away merely because it's who I am as a person.

I suck at texting back. I suck at maintaining healthy human contact with people. I suck at small talk. I just sorta suck. I get distracted easily, I lose track of time, and If I feel guilty that it's been too long since I've last replied, I'll most likely completely end our conversation there.

But I really am sorry!

I'm working on this little issue of mine, but in the meantime, here's a tip to deal with me or anybody else who unintentionally ignores you! Don't be afraid to double, or triple, maybe even quadruple text me! I promise I won't see that as annoying; I'll think of it as a little motivation to work on my inability to communicate with human beings.

Sorry again for being the worst person on the planet at texting back.


Side note: If I've been ignoring you for a few weeks, not just a few hours, I am most definitely doing that on purpose. I just have one question for you.


(just kidding)

(or am I?)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
