Yearning for a landline and an answering machine. Or better yet, hand written correspondence mailed by ship. I can’t keep up with texts and calls anymore and I feel guilty but also we were not built to be in constant communication with every single person in our phone at all times

☎️i do it often, not on purpose but it feels good to be freed from the shackles of answering a text immediately. i'm busy!

🫠i am flattered that my friends want to talk to me, but it’s a stimulation overload. like, my attention is being demanded at any time of the day without consent. the messages pile up, people sending me memes or check up messages or trying to organise events on group chats or even just asking when i am free to hang out. and it happens all at once, from all different people. my time feels obligated to someone else because i have to make time to reply or find time to see that person.
i leave people on delivered for days because i don’t have the stamina to engage in conversation that was basically demanded out of me during my day. i love my friends, but text messaging has allowed people to infiltrate your personal time at any point of the day, removing time away from yourself and worrying about when to reply or what to say back.
it’s a lot, and im overwhelmed by it. sometimes, it makes me just want to fall off the grid.

📱We don’t write letters anymore so I think that texting is the closest we have to regular written communication (which I actually value and enjoy in moderation).
I see and feel the downsides to texting too much. And I have done a lot of work on responding to people slower and taking more thought and time into it. With this said, I have noticed that many of my friends will initiate conversations with me only to never respond. I think the ways you communicate can be important examples of how you’re considering your loved ones.
