Texting Killed Romance

Smh...It's become so second nature it's like...we don't even THINK on it much really.
There's so much said through text that is just accepted like it's OK. But truly A LOT shouldn't be left to texting...I need to HEAR "I love you"/"I miss you" not read it on my screen...it's sweet either way but there's nothing like hearing that voice SAY those words...

I'll admit, I'm guilty of this too...and the more I think about it, the more it disturbs me a lil how technology has taken over such a major part of our lives...

I posted about this previously..But when's the last time you WROTE a love letter or recieved one?

When's the last time you called to say "i love u baby" or "i miss you" in the course of a day...rather than shoot a quick text?

Old school romance will always win out with me...And It's almost sad that as technology is always moving forward we take for granted and lose some of the charm of doing it the "old" way...

I miss a random phone call to say I love you...But I can't count my "i love u" texts...Something's wrong with that picture...

Sometimes I wish I really could just take it back in time to doing it the way we used to...even just for a weekend. A phone call at work just because he wanted to hear your voice.

This shyt's almost makin me kinda sad the more i type/think...I mean does convenience always need to win out?

It takes 15 seconds to send a text, and less than 2 minutes to dial a number get an answer and say "i love u"

If you knew you'd never see someone again would u want that last i love u to come from something other than your own mouth? Maybe I"m being too deep...But im just sayin...

There are soooo many people in the world that can say "If I had only..."

I never want to have THAT regret when it comes to someone I love...and technology (which is inevitable..) Has just opened up the door a lil wider for us to lose touch with the people MOST important to us. And the funny thing is we seem to think with emails, texts, laptops, blackberrys' iphones...we think we're MORE connected now. So untrue. I can go DAYS/WEEKS without hearing your voice, but feel like I haven't missed a beat cuz my inbox is full...thats so...WRONG.

"sigh..

Maybe I"m just speaking for myself...But give me a phone call over a text any day. Give me a hand written letter over an email ANY day...

I'mma stop before I depress myself. But I know on MY end of the world...some stuff is gonna have to change.

....Peace
