I'm all for the cute lame messages I can send to my girl and the stupid "yo" messages with my buds to get a point across but I just don't think that's how it should always be done,
It just desensitizes my ability to pick up on people and their traits as they talk, think or just .... be.
Now I know its a new age with new ways of life but the old ways of living have kept us going so far pretty nicely so why not keep on to those actions and central morals that give the older generations of today something more behind their central spans?
I mean today we are in a huge spiraling span of creativism (not a word) and self expression but yet we destroy true art-forms with the use of computers and technology.
We copy and paste everything we can get our hands on, photoshop out the true meanings of our work, contrast and brighten the pictures and videos we take to heart to give them something that we "think" they need. This has given our world a standard, I giant ladder to climb everytime we want something done, the drive to perfection.... which is a good goal but at the end of our rope as a human race how high can we go and not come back down to stop and sniff the roses so to speak..... Its like an alcoholic and his tolerance.
I just don't get the whole texting thing these days, I was a late bloomer with the whole cell phone scene and i've went through 5 of them. I get the need for it, regardless of the brain cancer or not, I just wish there were more alternative ways than souls messages that could easily be written by anyone.
I mean if I really wanted to write something to someone with real intent to speak I'd have to send 10 texts at a time and my certain cellphone plan doesn't allow for that ..... I don't need a texting plan.
Now I'm not saying that I won't text people back I'm just noting upon the paradox of getting your point across through something that could easily be said on phone, I don't care if you have to organize your thoughts I really dig some people for what they say and who they really are with their flaws and lively voices that just go without central distraction or thought.
Thats why phone calls are more personal for that unplanned conversation where you really feel wholesome after talking to someone, and I get the world these days, always moving, but I just don't like the unconscious thoughts that come with a text. I mean what If i forget to respond or don't respond correctly cause I forgot about the last text? People shouldn't have to worry about whats really being said in a text because all it is is getting your point across and takes the pleasant out of pleasantries.
Now I'm always guna respond to the robotic nature of texting but I also will give a call whether you pick up or not. Same with sketching and writing, regardless whether most of it is online, im not gunna shorten it for you to get what I'm saying in three lines or less. People need to work harder with their connectivity to the inside world of a human mind, let yourself in and always keep the door open.
-Life's to short but It goes as fast as you let it, the roses just need to be sniffed sometimes.
