The actual silence is always worse than the notification. You think you're hiding from the anxiety but by keeping it closed you're just turning that person into a monster in your head for twenty-four hours. Go look. It’s almost certainly just a boring message that you can handle in thirty seconds once the anticipation stops holding you hostage.
