Ah yes, the holidays. That time of year when my phone vibrates like it’s auditioning for a percussion ensemble, and I realize—oh right—every single person in my address book suddenly becomes a “messenger of generic cheer.”
Let me get this straight: I don’t mind celebrating. I don’t mind kindness. But 100 identical “Happy New Year” texts from people I barely remember talking to—or worse, people I actually do talk to regularly—is not celebrating. It’s clutter. It’s SPAM. It’s impersonal, it’s thoughtless, and it’s exhausting.
You see, a true gesture of connection doesn’t hide behind a mass text. It’s not about hitting “send all” and checking a box. It’s the seconds you take to pick up the phone, say someone’s name, ask about them, mean it. It’s personal. It’s deliberate. It’s worth remembering.
So, here’s my plea: if you actually care, make it count. Otherwise, spare me the generic noise. Let’s preserve the dignity of communication and the sanity of my notifications.
Because the truth is, nobody enjoys digging through a mountain of digital paper to find the actual message that matters.
Quality over quantity, people. Always.
