#Random

A subtype of meaningless digital dispatch that arrives without reason or context. It simultaneously satisfies the sender's boredom and craving for attention, a nuisance of the digital age. The recipient suffers guilt for opening it and agony over ignoring it. The sender's sole metric of validation becomes whether it's been read, spawning counterfeit intimacy. These tiny textual bombs disrupt the ideal of closeness. Yet perhaps it is this disorder that keeps the pretense of affectionate communication alive.
