Strange layers of communication

So, I'm sure I remember something like this being mentioned in a chick flick trailer or something, but its kinda hit home. I was seeing a girl for a while, we had our differences and it recently went splitzville. I'm okay...she's not. Its weird being on this side of things for once. The weirdest part? Being okay with it, but not okay with it. I mean, for me, it was time, but I still feel like an ass for not ending things sooner (she kinda thinks I'm a dick, and she just might be right). Either way, I've encountered this mulitfaceted version of "I need my space before we can be friends again" courtesy of Technology. In Korea, we have Kakao talk, which instead of using individual text messages, takes advantage of the unlimited data everyone automatically gets with their smartphone plans. Same same, but different. That, email, and of course, Facebook, have all created a murky web of what's permissible, and what's "I thought we weren't speaking..." Of course, none of it is explicitly defined. I guess something's gotta keep me on my toes these days.
