#Swipe

A swipe is the modern ritual of deciding another’s fate with a flick of the finger, reducing romance to instantaneous judgment. This gesture, balancing capricious attraction and silent rejection, wounds more swiftly than any heartfelt conversation. It judges the person behind the screen in a heartbeat and buries them in a graveyard of forgetfulness by dawn. The act of sealing off potential connections with one digit is itself an irony of celebrating freedom of choice. Swiping transforms empathy into a momentary thrill and an expiration date.
