Original Advice

DONT: Don’t text while angry; wait ten minutes.

Put The Phone Down, Firestarter

Your anger drafts manifestos faster than your wisdom loads. You think speed equals strength; it doesn’t. A hot thumb can turn a small ember into a four-alarm breakup. The screen dares you to escalate. You accept, and you archive regret. You do not argue; you publish evidence. You don’t text; you torch. Put the phone down before your honesty becomes shrapnel.

Ten minutes is not surrender; it is strategy. Adrenaline crests, then collapses. In that dip, your aim returns. Breathe. Read their last sentence, not your projection. Draft the reply, then delete it. Decide what you want to build, not what you want to win. Precision loves a cooled forge. Choose consequence over catharsis. Then speak once, cleanly, like a match that lights a candle, not a field.
