I remember the moment like it was yesterday I had just sent a message on Messenger, and almost instantly, I realized I’d made a huge mistake.

At first, I panicked, wondering if I had just ruined the conversation, but then I took a deep breath and started exploring the reasons behind it and more importantly, what I could do next.
