What Your Friend Secretly Wants to Tell You But Can't
Good friends tell each other everything. Unless, of course, they live on planet Earth, where people sometimes can't even whisper what they really want you to know.

"Stop spamming me."

From: Friendina Friendstein
To: You
Hey, thanks so much for your email. And call. And text and tweet and Facebook message and wall post and comment on my blog and invitation to connect on LinkedIn and Gchat hello. Hello! I'm so glad you're reaching out to me. I know that maintaining friendships as busy adults with families and jobs and social media personas to maintain is no easy task, believe me, and I am genuinely glad you're staying in touch. And I will never send this email because I'm worried you'll think I'm being prickly. But...let's pick maybe one way to communicate and stick to it. How about picking the one I'm using to respond to you? Like my phone doesn't text. Which is why I never respond to your texts. But I always call you back, right? And never tweet you back. So...do you get what I'm saying? Let's talk. Let's always, always talk—and let's never tweet again.
With so much love,
Friendina
