My Quest to find my own signature emoji

💩👻👀🥸🙃🥳😶👾🦾🧶🦅🦚🦦🐚🍼⛸🆗

So this is a pattern I have been noticing in all (fine, almost all) of my online social interactions - people respond to your message with a random emoji. It could be anything, from eggs, moons, bread, lightning, lips, dragons, mushrooms, LEAVES🍃(sponsored treepicsco propaganda) to different colored hearts. For most of the people, the emoji ‘just makes sense’ for who they are. So recently I embarked on a new quest-

To find my own emoji. 

Now here’s the thing. This is as stupid as it gets for an excuse to waste time. And when you consciously try to make a decision, you over-complicate it unnecessarily. You think that it’s gotta be something meaningful, some form of trade mark, you need to make the right decision because it’ll soon be a defining characteristic. Guess what, forget it. If you’re gonna think about it, you’re not getting anywhere, and deciding will become ridiculously time-taking. 

So….What did I decide?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No emoji :)

Instead I found myself using - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ repeatedly. 

For the conclusion - if I spam ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ in our convos even if it doesn’t make sense, don’t take it seriously. 

(Funny I have to mention it, but I guess I have to, because people tend to take me seriously all the time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Why did you waste your precious time reading this?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No idea.

Well, have a nice day. Come back when there’s something more worthwhile to read :)

[P.S. Because leaving people on seen is rude, I’ve been reacting to their most recent messages with 👀 to show that I’ve seen their message, and it’s the funniest thing in the world to have a conversation with someone where they’re confused and they DEMAND an explanation by what you meant by ‘👀’]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
