Ah, modern communication: that wonderful game of emotional riddles where everyone talks, no one listens, and empathy has been on indefinite leave. Understanding each other has become a luxury, like white truffles or parking in the city center.
So I said to myself: enough with interpretations worthy of a crash course in existential semiotics. Let’s get back to basics. I propose the triumphant return of the note, but in a deluxe version: “What are you looking for from me?” complete with ‘Yes’ and “No” boxes to tick. Like in first grade, when life was simple and love was measured in check marks.
Forget ghosting, cryptic messages, and ambiguous emojis. Do you want to go out with me? Check “Yes.” Do you just want to steal my Wi-Fi? Check “No.” Do you want a serious relationship but with the lightness of a soufflé? Let’s add the box “Maybe, but only if Mercury isn’t in retrograde.”
In short, a small gesture for humanity, a big step for clarity.
