Loved this insight: Since we don’t have to be clear anymore, it’s easy to have murky messaging. Communication has become increasingly unclear in our world -- just look at messages and emails between colleagues within any office. Something that speaking more and being more intentional in our communication can fix.
Lately, I've been trying to reduce texting as much as possible and encourage my friends to call me and meet up. However, as much as I thought that this would be pretty easy, I realized how much people have become unaccustomed to communicating face-to-face. No matter how good the signal or resolution of the video camera is, the meeting experience is entirely different and much more satisfying.
Thanks for the article! I am glad to find other people who have noticed this phenomenon.

Thanks for sharing Baxter, enjoyed this one!
Thanks Jack! Agree here.
"And if a friend uses a period, I’m like, Oh fuck. What’s wrong?" This still makes me laugh!
Awesome job all around on this one, Baxter.
Thank you Sandra! Those Shiny Dime edits were BANGERS.
I am very passionate about the topic.

Hey Eduard! Thanks for reading! We really have gotten accustomed to texting, probably just because it's easier. So happy this resonated.
If you're interested, I'd love to meet you! If so, check out my calendly link below:

Hello Baxter,
Absolutely, we should arrange it!
I will review your Calendly and, depending on my availability this week, I will set up a meeting.
Should our schedules not align this week, I will attempt to find a suitable time in the following weeks.
Best regards,
Eduard Sebastian

Great article Baxter! Love how it turned out and yes to less texting.
Thanks Anthony! I appreciate that a lot. Sometimes I take myself too seriously so I love putting some humor in the writing.
