ok so me and my friend had this stupid argument yesterday. not even a proper argument. one of those awkward half-arguments where nobody is screaming but both people are clearly annoyed and then it just ends weird

so today i decide im gonna be mature. huge mistake already

i open my phone and start trying to work out what to say because i didn’t want to sound dramatic but i also didn’t want to sound like i didn’t care. so im pacing around my room like an absolute idiot saying different versions out loud

“look bro i think yesterday came out wrong”

no too formal

“nah yesterday was weird and i don’t want it to become a thing”

too casual

“i value the friendship”

immediately wanted to launch myself out the window

anyway i decide to record myself saying it so i can hear if it sounds normal. i THOUGHT i was using voice memos

i was not using voice memos

i was in the actual whatsapp chat with him

i had been holding the little mic button and sending every single cursed draft directly to him

nine voice notes

NINE

including one where i literally whispered “why do i sound like im breaking up with him” and then sighed for about six seconds

he replied with one message

“are you done rehearsing or should i wait for the final version?”

i have never wanted to bury a phone in the garden more in my life

the worst part is he said the third one was probably the best, which means he listened to them like an apology album

TL;DR tried to practise an apology using voice notes, accidentally sent all 9 drafts to the person i was apologising to, including commentary on how stupid i sounded
