You can make it your New Year's Resolution

to not send me mass text messages anymore.

I'm going to be very vulnerable and honest right now and just tell you that your mass texts, well yeah,

THEY MAKE ME FEEL STUPID
and overzealous as your friend.

I'd prefer, as I'm sure you would if you were in my position, to NOT feel like that. Thus, I ask you to refrain, if there is any possible way, from sending me your ever so thoughtful yet unthoughtful and impersonal mass texts.

Why.

I knew you'd ask.

I'm not sure how to put this except, after receiving texts saying "Happy New Year!" or "Merry Christmas!" (even though I don't celebrate Christmas, and yes, Jesus is still my homeboy,) I just get this mentality that you actually thought about me and took time to wish me those things. I'm not saying you didn't at all, but ... you kind of really didn't. It took one second to think of... everyone in your phonebook. Actually let me rephrase that, it took a second to think of, your phonebook. That doesn't count.

But me, being the overly appreciative person that I am (I have recently come to notice that I say "thank you" a lot. I'm not saying I do it "too much" because I like being appreciative of the little things, but, it is "a lot"...and now I'm thinking actually, maybe it is too much...) will always decide to PERSONALLY send YOU a PERSONAL text message back, wishing YOU a happy new year, or a happy holidays, or a happy groundhog's day, or whatever you people all mass text for these days. And you know what?

I always feel really idiotic, right after hitting send, realizing that, you probably really didn't even think of me when you sent that text.

I don't mean to sound narcissistic, or possessive, or anything that this may come off as. Really don't. It's just a very simple feeling I get. I just feel, simply, stupid. Here I am getting all excited and texting you back when you probably weren't even expecting a response because... it was a mass text.


But then again, I do like the fact that I was able to send you something, just for you. And I do understand why a mass text, in this day and age of the 21st century, may be considered very thoughtful and considerate. I see that. We are, the txt msg gnration, where a mass text might be considered much better than no text...








but for me,
its not.





I sound like a big B and I'm really sorry.

If you HAVE to mass text (but not to me because i realize its not part of my plan anyway haha so texting in general raises my bill by a million dollars =p), I suggest you add a "you guys!" or an "everyone!", so they know that you're not really thinking of them personally because you're so popular. =p


I'm being so mean. Oh well. New Year's Resolution for myself. Se amable.


Te quiero,











...EVERYONE!

(See doesn't that just suck. Wouldn't it have been so nice if I had just meant it for YOU) ??

Sigh, Happy New Year everyone. =)
