I spoke with one of my sisters three times yesterday. I don't text at all - I don't have a smartphone and the phone I do have doesn't have the text feature activated.
Last evening actually, and I could have easily talked all night long. Every time he calls it's....wait...someone already said something very similar. Such a very strange coincidence. Life is full of coincidences and odd happenstance. I've been making a point to talk to someone at least once a day who who has stolen my heart because if I don't I surely feel as though I am going to perish. Though he have never met personally, I feel like I have known him forever. We talk endlessly about frivolous things, serious things, emotional things, dreams, desires...oh boy the desires...I cannot speak of such desires openly for I would surely be moderated. He knows me intimately yet we have never met. The power and touch of the human voice can never compare to a mere text. I hang on every word...Even through my meandering, he get's me
And trust me when I say...He has my fullest attention and nothing is going to stop this now
And now it's intermission time. Please remain calm while the ushers hose everyone down with cold water and to those who are wondering or confused the answer is...Yes
Earlier this evening, to a relative. Most of my phone calls are voice, not text - much more personal, immediate, and a damn sight easier physically. I reserve the latter mainly when a brief sentence or two is all that's needed, such as confirming an appointment.
Just because we can communicate by text doesn't mean we have to - but as corollary, no I do not wander around the streets or shops, or interrupt social gatherings, waffling into my little block of plastic!
