In the day and age where technology is the prevalent form of communication and texting seems to be the only manner that matters. How is it that we are even heard? When I see a painting, it conveys messages and emotions that, on many occasion, well...most of the time, only surface in my mind. When I type in clear sentences, the message is transferred through sentence structure.
But alas, in the little phone that would, I have found that messages tend to take a misconstrued turn in favor of the reader's mood. Although I can write a single word messages such as "whatever", and have come to find on numerous occasion that though the intention is there; there as as many ways to perceive the message as there are ways to uses it...and then some.
More recently I have been trying to clarify such text to concisely depict the message, but at times these intentions are in vain. Messages with out the details and personability of the inflection of voice allow for misinterpretation of intention.
HELP! Please advise me on what the middle ground should become.
Though I know my messages are able to be quite long winded, I try not say too much so that I'm am not "that guy"; but also hope I am not seen as being a dick or a bitch.
"Thoughts?"
Be that guy. If its a new lover, stay outta their hair most of the week...then text them some dope prose--a diary entry, a moment painted in saturated color delivered on a glass plate w fascinating letters for them to sift
ReplyDeleteThrough. Just cause it's there for quick messages, doesn't mean that's how u have to be led. Remember when email and phones took the placemof grandiose letters,and we were all sad that this was the fate of our generation... Well, screw that. Make texting your bitch. I make it my zine. I incorporate pictures and sound recordings. True, satire and sarcasm are slippery territory now-- but the truth is, people will just as likely project their insecurities on u even if u were face to face. Keep it long and lovely, durable and fantastical! Just hold back on the frequency; we all have a life to live. Speaking of life, utillizing my advice could potentially save lives-- a person is likelier to check a shorter message on the spot, say, while driving or operating heavy machinery, I know I am. Upon receiving a lengthier message, I'll hold back,make the right time for it--I know it's a gift, something spent time on for me--and I'll equally take the time to savior it.
