Great, actually. Lil mini chance to be spontaneous and vulnerable with people you care about. Forces my brain to freeze & flow at the same time. conversely, I get to collect tiny aural glimpses of where people are at on every level.
I feel it’s a lost art. my mom left me one and it was such a treat to listen to her message. Just left one for a dear friend of mine! even If she doesn’t call back, it’s nice to think of her listening to my little treat!
Lost art. I respect people that can leave a voicemail, most people just keep calling you back (most people don’t even make phone calls anymore WILD) but the ones that leave a voicemail, be it with an annoyed tone or sweet sincere elegance, I appreciate yall man. I’ll hit you back later in the meantime, thank you for caring enough.
i cold call all day. hearing weird / interesting voicemail greetings instead of the robot is so refreshing - someone sang their voicemail intro . one guy was like “press 6 then press 5 and then turn around and touch your nose” one girl did a dominitrix voice and was like “don’t even THINK about leaving me a voicemail… simply text me…” so wonderful when ppl get creative w the mundane things in life
Getting to pour some quiet processing time into a life change, unfulfilled desire, or complex relationship with whatever? get yourself to the safe harbor of a harshly lit drugstore. It helps.
Saw a show last night with a friend in LA (Lola Young, echoplex). relaxed, danced around in the back mostly- got a bit closer when we felt like it. sang our heads off. inception rec- Lola young is a face melter of an artist.
