I Miss Your Voice



I understand how convenient texting is, but I mean don't you guys get tired of texting sometimes?
Some of you are probably thinking, that I'm crazy for making such a statement. Because you suck at talking on the phone. Yeah, you know why you suck at talking on the phone? Because you don't ever talk on the phone because you are always texting.

Today, we live in a world where everyone wants everything now, and they want things to be very convenient. Which is fine, but heaven forbid if you pick up the phone just to call someone and tell them that you love them, or just talk to them about your day. A texting conversation can take all day and you don't move through much material, a phone call can take 15 minutes if you want it to, or it can take 2 hours, and you can get through all kinds of topics...but no matter how long it takes, it means more than a text because you can actually hear the persons voice. And hear the emotion in their voice...therefore, making calling way more personal then texting and I think that's something else that society is sprinting away from. We're running away from personal things, people don't really talk anymore, they text, or e-mail, or Facebook chat. At least when our grandparents were our age they wrote letters and it was in their own hand writing...and they were long, and a lot of the time they were about love and important things going on in their lives.


I just wish people put more...effort? into communicating with other people/people they care about. I mean, now-a-days it's like...a treat if someone calls you instead of texts you. That's pretty pathetic, people should just take a few minutes out of their day and just say what they were gonna say in a text, but actually say it themselves. Because when you think about it, in the amount of time it takes to type out the text, and send it, possibly resend it, and then the receiver has to first realize that they have received a message, and then once they read it, and respond and then you respond to their response...you could have just picked up the phone, called them...said what you wanted to say and be done. And it would be 10x more personal because the person you called could actually hear your voice instead of just read what your saying in their head.

I just don't see the harm in picking the phone up every now and then to just say hi. Because I get tired of texting. I miss your voice.
