      What do you fear?

      That you’re not up to the task?

      That you’ll dissapoint your peers?

      Pick up that phone and face your fears

      For you will never miss

      the paths you failed on

      but the ones you never dared to tread.

        I’ve basically ceased listening to music, so if this is a song, it’s fallen out of memory.

        But anyway, It’s not fear, it’s exasperation at my limited daily free time being sectioned by someone else. The comic doesn’t reflect my personal feelings. (Pretty poem or lyrics)

      Can always decline the call and text “I’ll call you back in x minutes,” giving you full control over your own life

        But you still don’t know what they wanted, so the extra thinking time isn’t worth anything. (Unless we’re comparing to those nut jobs that just text “hey” and then wait without continuing to describe their matter)

        Except if I’m taking a two hour nap for sleep I desperately need. They can deal with voicemail.

      In what world do you live that time sensitivity is never a thing? Also it’s just a helluva lot easier sometimes to talk for one minute instead of write for 10 and still get the wrong tone.
