This Is Your Sign: Send The Risky Text

If you’ve been wondering if you should just send the ✨ risky text ✨ you’ve had drafted in your notes app for the last three weeks, here’s your sign: do it.

To be clear, a risky text isn’t necessarily a sext (though it can be). A risky text can also just be a message that allows you to put yourself out there in whatever way you need to at that moment.

A risky text is telling someone they pissed you off. A risky text is reaching out to an ex because you want one more shot at closure. A risky text is telling your situationship that you’re done with the blurred lines and you need definitives if things are to continue.

But if you’re going to send the risky text, you need to be detached from an outcome. You’re sending the risky text not because you want anything out of it other than the chance to express yourself. Because you deserve to be heard. Because life is short and you might as well live authentically while you’re here.

Life is meant to be lived, not tip-toed around. You’re here to be alive, not just exist. If you can’t remember the last time you felt something truly raw and messy and real and imperfect and human, it’s time to make that happen. Send the risky text.

Literally nothing matters. You might as well be honest about how you feel.
