No apology required

You never need to apologise for not getting back to me.

“I’m sorry I didn’t reply to your message sooner…”

What — you mean you had the AUDACITY of doing something that meant you didn’t immediately get back to me???

HOW DARE YOU?!

Lol funny not funny. IYKYK.

Why do we do this?

Is it really the pressure to respond to someone else’s priorities…?

Or a default make-myself-smaller-and-thereby-more-likable-flex?!

Whatever it is, you never need to excuse having boundaries and just doing you.
