Do you remember when times were simpler, you were excited to get mail, check your answer machine, or answer a call that didn't flash ahead a time who it was so you could ignore it?
When the thought of ignoring it couldn't have even been a thought?
I have been sucked in by the 2014, thankless, Facebook/instagram/twitter, text me only, oh I don't use phones for phone calls idiocy and I WANT OUT! You get so used to not having conversations, to texts messages that go on for days but you never actually learn anything. For men, who send text messages one a day. Or men that send GM religiously every morning. For women who question why did [person] call me three times?!, what do they want, but not call them back. For voicemails that go unchecked, but you simply call or text the person back.
I hate it, but yet I'm doing it. It becomes so easy to fall into it. I'm climbing myself out. I want to make more calls, or rather need to since I am newly unemployed looking for jobs, reaching to contacts. I haven't even been good by email after having to get some very important information and fighting for something that I also loathed checking it. I am now resigned myself to at least a call a day, and feel better immediately after catching up to someone new or trying to catch up
It is the most thrilling, terrific feeling to talk to someone on the phone or in person. I love the sincerity, the realness, the closeness I feel like I am part of their life. So I want a pen pal. I want someone to write to. I want it to be real. I don't want it to be fake or commercialized like you are able to make social media, where everyone looks great, and is always surrounded by friends, and going out.
I want to tell someone my thoughts, and hear theirs. I want the excitement of receiving a real handwritten letter in the mail. I want to write back. I want to listen. I want to be a real part of someone's life. Anyone interested?
