Delete

Jason Gray's songs so often sum things up perfectly:

"I want to bring the heat

I stop and take a beat

I type, then I delete

Until I find a way to say a kind thing without lying"

~Jason Gray

Oh, but it is cathartic to do the type and then delete bit. (To be on the safe side, type in a notes app, and not somewhere you can accidentally hit send 😄) It's such a shame to be unable to use some of the more colourful or creative phrases in real life, though...
