All hail the technology message.
The sms. The messenger chat. The instagram drop. The facebook tag. The whatsapp notification.
All of the text forms. Because I'm at a stage of life, where if I had to speak to people on the phone to communicate, well I wouldn't be communicating with ANYONE.
Life is so busy. I get messages via all of the above platforms here and there. I text back when I can. When I get a minute of peace.
If I had to call someone? It would never happen! Firstly it's not silent. So often I am messaging with baby boy napping somewhere nearby, so I really do need to be super discreet.
I sometimes start and stop a message, something that becomes so hard with calls. Or I message, as has become the case this last year or so, at the end of the night, even overnight! I will write back when I'm in bed at the end of the night, or if I've just gotten baby boy back to bed and see something, I will quickly text back, depending on what it is.
It is just so easy. And it also keeps me in contact with so many people, and since this whole baby/toddler thing can be so lonely at times, it's super reassuring to have someone... a text message away. 🥰
Who said technology was bad? I think in life stages like these, we realise how much these interactions can save us. I for one, love my messages. 💖🙏
