I don’t receive text messages very often and I’m okay with that. But on the occasions that I do receive one, I jump up in the air and click my heels, for it’s been confirmed: someone was thinking of me.

Let me share one I got today:

“[Name withheld] smells and it permeates my couch. I’ve known him almost a year and the smell is bad.”

I read this to myself and laughed aloud. Such simple statements communicating so fully! There’s a thesis, supporting evidence, and even a conclusion buried inside these two tiny sentences. My high school English teachers would be dizzy and impressed at writing such as this.

Then I jumped up in the air and clicked my heels, for it had been confirmed: someone was thinking of me.
