NewI loved this line...

Sat, 10/05/19

I laughed long on this line:

I’ve often wondered if folks are only interacting with me (or others) in order to kill the time between notifications on their devices.

I’ve been there on that end of things (which is why it resonated with me); and probably at times been guilty of having others feel the same with my phone interactions.
