there have been times where the secondary thought overrides the primary thought, and i often end the message with just finishing the parenthesis. worst case scenario, I'll even add a tertiary thought

I’m getting flashes of David Foster Wallace.

¹ it's very useful when you have multiple parentheses at different points, I still haven't solved the problem of nesting them unfortunately, so I welcome any suggestions
