I have this thing where I assume everyone is mad at me
A short reply? They're angry. No reply? They hate me. Silence feels loud and my brain fills it with the worst stories😌

I'm learning that most people are just busy. Or tired. Or thinking about their own stuff. Not everything is about me. And that's actually a relief. The silence is just silence. Not a secret message. I'm still learning to believe that 🤍
