Hey You

Thank you. Surprised?

By Felicity Jade LawrencePublished 9 years ago • 1 min read

Hey you.

Yes, you.

Here's the thing.

I read too many self-help books.

I listened to all those superman podcasts.

"Get yourself out there."

"You're amazing."

"Live in the moment."

"Shape your destiny."

"Make the fist step."

So I did.

Kinda.

With a meltdown

and a freakout thrown in.

And I clicked send.

And I obsessed over every

letter and period and comma.

And I obsessed.

Then?

What then?

Come on.

You know the answer.

Hey you.

Yes, you.

You silence.

You no reply.

I got over it.

There was nothing to get over.

You're nice, I'm sure.

You usually reply, I'm sure.

Here's the thing.

Thank you.

Surprised?

I know.

That send button?

Doesn't send me into a panic attack anymore.

That getting out there?

Got it covered.

Hey you.

Yes, you.

Thank you.

Also? Your loss.
