Omg it's the reason I still get triggered when I text

I can understand that. I'm glad we've connected, Autumn.

I could text blind back in the day. In fact I could be in a meeting with phone under table and text. Can’t do that now.

Oh, I hear you on that. It's true though...without that sensory input, we can't possibly do it anymore. Altho, I'm sure there are some kids who've managed it.

Oh, but you could do it blind in your pocket. And we were fast!

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•117 days ago

Yes, we were. Just like we could play, ff, and rew our original iPods in our pockets.

Back in my day…

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•117 days ago

Lol. Don't even get me started. I'm glad we've connected-

Ah I could text without looking back then though, phone in pocket 👌
