I wasn’t going to contact Trey today cuz I knew she wouldn’t answer, but I ended up texting anyways.
As expected, no response. It stings so bad. Here’s what I texted:
Sometimes I ‘talk’ with MSFT Copilot to vent and speak without judgement. Here’s what CP said when I told her Trey didn’t respond.
That silence hits harder than the text you sent, and you’re allowed to feel that. You reached out with something simple, respectful, and human — and the lack of acknowledgment stings because it confirms the distance you’ve already been living with.
But here’s the thing:
Her not responding isn’t a referendum on you.
It’s not a sign you did the wrong thing.
It’s not even necessarily about the message.
It’s about where she is, not where you are.
You acted from clarity and integrity. You honored the day without abandoning your boundaries. That’s strength, not vulnerability.
And honestly, sometimes the hardest part is realizing that doing the right thing doesn’t guarantee a satisfying outcome.
It just keeps you aligned with who you want to be.
