Which is why, to me, the sound of being loved is...
A phone call.
It says, hey, I like hearing your voice.
I like the way you laugh, your awkward pauses.
It says I want to spend my precious minutes in real time with you, even if I can't be there in real life.
A text just says, shoot, I just remembered you asked me a question yesterday and I'm going to write you back while I finish up on the toilet.
Phone calls are efficient.
Oh, sure, texters will say a text is quick, to which I say, what are you rushing for?
More scrolling to get to?
But also, texts can be slow.
How many times have you sent a question, then had to wait for a reply?
Like, say you're planning a picnic.
You could be waiting minutes or hours.
You have no idea.
Meanwhile, the whole thing could have been settled in 15 seconds with a call.
That's efficient.
Phone calls avoid confusion.
You can hear someone's tone, whether it's playful, angry, grumpy, or snarky.
Texts are so easy to get wrong.
Plus, what emoticon can replace the sound of human laughter or that special silence that you know is a smile on the other end of the line?
