but my reply

before it

beleaguered thoughts

a headful

of swirling

nonsense

of busy reality

i’m so sorry

    Sometimes, we just don't know what to say or maybe we just don't have the energy to say anything. Please know that it is completely okay!

  • Omgsh. Me too. Every good intention and then, I drop the ball. Good to know I'm not alone in this, but love the interaction when it connects

    Lol, I hope no one holds this against people. I certainly don't! Totally get it. I do the same thing. Also, cool photo! Like a window hit a brick wall. Peering in, only to be blocked rather violently. This! Love this bit: "i opened the reply and then shut it! Sometimes an emoji don’t cut it!" You write poems even when you're not really writing poems. Too cool! I envy your brain sometimes, lol.
