Some Words From The Girl Who Can't Text Back

I'm really sorry but I probably still won't text you back...

Some Words From The Girl Who Can't Text Back
Hanna Case

Hi family, friends, and any human unfortunate enough to try to contact me:

Here's the thing. The first step in the recovery process is to admit that you have a problem, right? Well, I have a problem alright, and I'm sure you've all noticed. It's something that I have been struggling with since the age of 13 when I received my first cellphone. It's hard for me to admit, but it's gotten to the point where it has to be said.

I do not respond to your messages, like ever.

This problem of mine isn't quite the problem for me personally, but it's more of a problem for all of you guys. I'm sure it leaves you all feeling angry, frustrated, and annoyed with me. I'm 900 percent sure that at some point in time I've left you all a little...

or internally thinking...

But I'd like you all to know that this is my fault, not yours. Normally, after a few times forgetting to text or message one of you back, I'd rattle off some silly excuse or tell you why I was ignoring you. It's gotten to the point where I've run out of excuses. Chances are I won't be messaging you back right away merely because it's who I am as a person.

I suck at texting back. I suck at maintaining healthy human contact with people. I suck at small talk. I just sorta suck. I get distracted easily, I lose track of time, and If I feel guilty that it's been too long since I've last replied, I'll most likely completely end our conversation there.

But I really am sorry!

I'm working on this little issue of mine, but in the meantime, here's a tip to deal with me or anybody else who unintentionally ignores you! Don't be afraid to double, or triple, maybe even quadruple text me! I promise I won't see that as annoying; I'll think of it as a little motivation to work on my inability to communicate with human beings.

Sorry again for being the worst person on the planet at texting back.


Side note: If I've been ignoring you for a few weeks, not just a few hours, I am most definitely doing that on purpose. I just have one question for you.


(just kidding)

(or am I?)

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
