Texting

Earlier today I called my fiance to see if he was going to come over. He didn't answer his phone, so I sent him a text, and he responded immediately. That got me thinking. We text more than we talk. It seems like that's the way it is with almost all of my friends too. Texting seems to be easier. But it also seems to take away from the intimacy of a relationship. When I say intimacy, I am not talking about sex. I'm talking about human contact, hearing the friendliness of someones voice, or being able to tell someones mood that is on the other line. It use to be that when someone would call me, I wouldn't have to look on caller ID to see who was calling. I always recognized the voice on the other end of the line. Earlier today, my sister called me, and I didn't recognize her voice, because we text more than we talk. How sad is that? My own sister! I think we are all in such a hurry that we dont take the time to appreciate the little things. For me, the little things are hearing a friendly voice. Or an unfriendly voice!
