In an era where the phone never leaves your hand, silence is the answer.

I originally thought that people who don’t reply were being rude, but later I learned that the ones being rude are the people who keep sending messages. In an age when everyone’s phone is never out of hand, if someone wants to reply to you, they would have already replied. A door that isn’t willing to open for you isn’t the rude one; it’s you who keeps knocking. When someone doesn’t reply to your messages, you don’t need to worry about what’s wrong with them. They’re keeping company with someone who’s many times more important. A person’s desire to share doesn’t change—if it isn’t directed at you, then it’s being satisfied somewhere else. Don’t bother someone who isn’t replying to you, because they’re with someone who is many times more important than you. $SOL
