Did you know that your most frequently used emojies are largely influenced by your personality?
Okay let me take you to the very beginning. You know how everyone has their unique chatting styles and tendencies? Well mine is this subtle compulsion to add an emoji to every conversation. I fight the urge like crazy but sometimes I give in without so much as a mental squabble with my fingers. ( it’s little wonder that I manage to write these newsletters without riddling it with emojies🥴)
Anyhoooo, I manage to pay extra care especially when I’m chatting with clients or having official conversations. I however came to notice my gravitation towards a particular emoji and I decided to introspect about it.
It is the “hug” emoji. How will I chat with you and not send you a virtual hug? Azaz howwwww? Lol. My list of frequently used emojis change from time to time, but the hug emoji will ALWAYS be there, and it will ALWAYS be first. ( I took a snapshot as at the time I was typing and it’s the accuracy for me lmao)
So why do I like the “hug” emoji so much? Because a hug signifies warmth, friendship, safety, compassion and affection. You only hug people you’re comfortable with and in a world where everyone tries to make other humans out to be demons that cannot be touched with a ten foot pole, my way of breaking down those mental barriers is by sending virtual hugs (and I give the biggest, warmest and coziest physical hugs too😉).
I wrote all that to say this; find a creative way of caring for the people around you. Nurture the desire to help people feel better when they meet you. Life is happening fast to a lot of people and everyone is just trying to wing this earthly journey the best way they can. Be a ray of sunshine for someone today. Convey your love to them in the way that makes you feel most comfortable; but make sure you’re conveying love. I’m not saying you should send all your contacts a hug emoji, I’m saying your mind should be wired in such a way that your desire to make people happier is expressed in your smallest gestures.
That said, raise your glasses virtual comrades, to CREATIVE LOVE and hug emojis 🥂
