How quickly do you open your phone as soon as you get a notification?
How eager are you to check when you discover you were tagged in a funny meme?
Waking up to those kind of notifications makes me feel some type of way.
It’s not the notification itself,
It’s because someone thought about me.
When you tag people in your social media,
You’re implying:
“You’re on my mind.”
Regardless of how often you talk to a friend or family member,
It feels nice knowing someone’s been thinking about you.
I love the phrase:
“The human spirit yearns for recognition.”
People want to be noticed.
Whether it’s the kid who bags your groceries,
Or the person next to your cubicle.
Someone you know may be contemplating suicide.
The action of noticing them
May make the difference
In preventing that today.
