Much excitement, much ado, much to-do... and not much keeping up with the ever expanding list of the must-immediately-accomplish.
am also convinced that all these means of "staying connected" are actually bullying us into "staying answerable" at all times.. and any desire to stay connected to reality and not the virtual presence.. or any desire to not be attached at the hip or available 24/7 makes one a direct target.
I had become quite (in)famous for responding post 2-4 hours of being contacted by any of these means...*insert gasp*
which, in my humble opinion, is quite okay... and perhaps a decade ago would have been considered good form and manners... in fact, quite accessible... but now somehow the pace of technology has convinced us that just because my message Reaches you within 2 ticks... somehow i am obligated to receive a Response somewhere relative to the speed at which the message has reached you...
as though, by virtue of having Sent the msg Fast, i am entitled to receive a response at the same pace..
which would have been considered ridiculous if it had not become so universally accepted so instantaneously
I wonder why more people don't have a problem with this answerability.. i like to take my time.. continue the job at hand.. and just because i can reply instantly.. why do i have to?
there has always been that stubborn streak in me.. to not bow down to situations just because things are flowing in that direction.. the questioning mind has always made its presence felt.. and that continues.. "just because" is never good enough as a reason..
again, i ask.. why must i be compelled?
and why is no one else asking?

Succumbing again to OCD of answering rhetorical questions
Here
You mustn't! You're doing it right.
I've been asking myself the same question for the last six years (Since the initial release of WhatsApp)
And I found this
2-3 Hours:
This is like how long it takes people to respond to a missed call from their parents, or finally start doing the homework they’ve been putting off for some time. That would mean you’re pretty important; the person just wants to have ample time to maintain the entire conversation once they finally do respond.

chalo, someone agrees!
when are you going to blog btw?
Pikachu (o^-^o)
Em ou antes de 02 de janeiro de 2017
I swear it by the old Gods and the new. _/\_
I'm assuming that you are done with drafting the final draft.
Em ou antes de 02 de janeiro de 2017?
translation?
no to the draft.. when something is unhealthy best to let it be!
Oops. I'm sorry. ''Em ou antes de 02 de janeiro de 2017'' translates to ''On or before 2nd January 2017''.
Absolutely right, but I was talking about the final draft of your book. </3
