Text Messasge Detox

I was a text message junkie.

I carried on entire relationships within the confines of my Blackberry.

Why?

I think it was just easier than hearing the melodrama of life. Texting 'It'll be okay, sweetie...' to them was just so much less painful...

I think I cheated them. I need to hear them. And they need to hear me (you know who you are).

I loved thinking about every word. I loved the luxury of time to make my verbage count. My communication was so effective - or was it? The human touch was missing. My cadence, my energy, my tone...and theirs...

Now I'm over it.

No more Cyrano de Bergerac-esque antics. No more Liasons Dangereuse messages.

Amy's back. I'm ready to listen.

I'm sorry.

Call me.
