Get your shit together and write a single cohesive message please. I don’t need 27 separate messages for a single thought.

Don't take offense, better make amends
Rip it all to shreds and let it go

When a person pauses midtext to choose a word, thats the best time to jump in and change the subject

It's like an interception in football, you grab the other guy's idea and run the opposite way with it.

The more texts you complete, the higher your score. The idea is to block the other guy's thoughts and express your own. That's how you win.

I've been guilty of doing that, then 5 minutes later thinking "Oh I could have probably just slowed down and combined those things into one message"
