A few days ago, I was messaging a friend of mine and we had been replying each other's messages with a lot of smileys, so i told her that. She replied that it was good, because its as if we can see each other's faces through our messages. I had never thought about it like that. This got me thinking, what if we couldn't show emotions? What if we were stuck with the same expressions on our faces for our whole lives? Not a very attractive thought, is it? We express so much through our expressions. We don't need to speak out to make others understand the way we feel.
The same goes for text messages. Sometimes all it takes is a smiley, or a 'cry-ey'(or a crying smiley, whatever you call it) or any other type of smiley to let the other person know how we are feeling at the moment. Sometimes you can be lost for words, but a proper smiley can express more than any word ever could. Initially, it took me a long time to start using the smileys. My messages would be devoid of emotions, so to say. But nowadays, smileys come automatically, and it is probably a lot easier for me to express myself, since I often don't find the right things to say.
