Everyone seems to forget there was a time before texting when we actually used to call each other. I still call my friends. They don’t pick up. But they will text me back later with a:
“I just saw you called! Is everything ok!?”
…Because if I’m calling it must be an emergency. But I mean, the way I see it, every time I want to talk to you, it is an emergency. I want to talk to you right there and then and have your full attention. And I don’t think I should have to be bleeding or broken for that to happen. I just want to have a good solid conversation with you. None of this texting casually back and forth…waiting for a response…doing something else….forgetting about it….coming back to my phone…responding….wait again….When I want to talk, I want to do it right here and now, not fragmented and scattered over my day and over other conversations- having to remember where we left off… what we were talking about… And then heaven forbid one of us wants to introduce another subject and we start talking about two different things! It’s miserable.
So yeah- it is an emergency. It is urgent. Because life is urgent and I don’t have time to waste.
Communication etiquette! A call should be reciprocated with a call. Yes!
Haha I’m glad someone else thinks this way 🙂
