This isn't really a story or a book so much as it is advice, and an apology to someone really important to me. Probably incredibly obvious advice but its easy to make mistakes regarding it. So this is about context. Its pretty common to use slang, abbreviations, joke names/words/phrases, emojis etc. We live in a world full of things like these. 

But sometimes we use them in the wrong way, because we're so used to using them lazily or casually. Sometimes we use them excessively or in the wrong situations, even if we're careful this can backfire and affect people. Not everyone is going to see something exactly as you see it, and this can impact a conversation so easily  and so fast, you might be at a loss about what to do. 

This probably sounds like an utterly stupid and trivial post, but its a big deal if it happens to you. The wrong nickname or reaction of any kind at the wrong time can hurt someone when they really don't need or deserve it, and it can make you wonder how you possibly screwed up, even though you did. I can feel the cringe writing this, as its seriously not my best writing but that's a lazy excuse. Pls don't judge me :o THE MORAL OF THIS FABLE IS: Think before you talk, even if you're busy or distracted, it can make all of the difference. Wait till you're not busy, or focus

Basically, be careful with how you converse, especially if you're talking to someone who's just told you something upsetting. Again, obvious but its easy to mess up. You don't want that, especially when the person in question is someone you really like/love, and is one of the most important people in your life. Stupid emojis. You know who you are XD
