If You See This, Let Me Know.
Seen - a word now crushingly associated with an accompanied time and date. Sounds like a crime scene, doesn't it? An embedded white outline surrounding the message you've sent to someone, forever lost in a cyber world with no idea as to what killed the conversation. Rationally, you want to reach for the reason of … Continue reading If You See This, Let Me Know.
