I wrote an SMS text to a friend who was upset.
The text was supposed to be nice, sensitive and reassuring.
But I forgot that written words have no inflection, and if you're in a place where you're going to take something the wrong way, and there's little foundation in that few words, you can build anything on top.
Like imagined insensitivity, flippant disregard and disrespect.
So I don't have that friend anymore. Just because of the one word at the end: "bye".
