So recently I just lost someone I was very close to when I was younger. I've known one of my friends since we were 12 and her mom was my second mom in life. She scolded me, loved me, yelled at me, hugged me....you know like a mom. At her memorial service me and 3 friends from high school stood around and talked of days gone by...things we'd done...stuff Mom would've yelled at us for so it was funny to us.
I look around and every single child in the room has a cell phone out typing away. Now don't get me wrong I text my ass off but at this I thought it would be rude so I shut my phone off. (It was a viewing not the funeral but still) I look at my friends and went...remember when we had to "write" notes out? They began to laugh and on my 2 hour drive home I begin thinking how horrible I was at answering said letters.
Now I have the Internet and it can be sent in a moment...no waiting....and I STILL suck at answering "letters". I think it's because I never know what to reply to people. I have to think on it. And by the time I've thought about it I forget to answer since I already answered in my head. Then before I know it three weeks have gone by and I have a NEW email to reply to and I have to compose that one in my head as well.
Technology did nothing for me but made me a worse procrastinator than I already was!
