The world I knew before the "emoticons" took over

I am feeling all emotions today.

Can somebody please find a new emoticon for how I am feeling today? Lexicon of words lost to a mere character, I somehow liked the world better, when I could describe how I felt in just a few words, brief maybe.

Proud inventions of some my fellow millennials, an attempt at unifying how everyone felt, I feel has taken a little bit of uniqueness in the way we felt about love, smile, laugh, hate, fear, worry, loss, sad, happy etc., even in the way we felt about our follies. How I loved it when I asked someone about their day, and they responded with any of the above sentiments in pure words, then a character, that seems to lose its virginity, just by anticipating the concoction of its ugly personality and how it assembles its formation into one single disposition.

Tantamount to growth, some innovations may have definitely steered our way to the future and could be deemed necessary. But today, as we stand the test of time against many odds facing our world, some of our innovative testimonials, have cost us more than our share of worries.

I am all for technologies that promote growth and that work for the betterment of our community, our country, and our world. But the curious case of the human in me, likes surprises more, than having to know the outcome of an event or my acts of free will.


My fellow inventors wouldn't agree with my sentiments here as the surmise behind their idea was more meaningful to them than the demise of an idea that did not live to see the sun. And I have no ill-feeling for them. I am just apathetic to the part where a single character, decides to take away my liberal freedom of demonstrative speech, even before I can start to say it in a few simple words.



I would love to go back to the day, where, when you asked me, "How are you doing today?" and I answered with a simple gesture and in all kindness telling you that I was fine and doing well. The sweetener in those words etches a deeper emotional chord in me than a character that sums up nothing but my incompleteness. Call me old-fashioned, but how I wish I could go back to those simple days.
