remote emote


Imagine waking up two hours after you closed your eyes the night before, only to realize the buzz you hear is that alarm that tells you your next meeting is an hour away. Imagine you've been working 18 hours before that with nothing to show but bad skin and worse temper.

Imagine realizing it's your Milestone today and you've only a few hours to spend time together, as both have crazy schedules and you're trying to juice out whatever spare time you have to do some celebration of sorts.

Imagine someone passed away and his death changes everything, though you're not personally related and you've barely exchanged hi's at work yet the impact of his passing is enough to make you scream.

Imagine remote Fridays and WiFi by the pool. Imagine remote Fridays being taken away, WiFi still by the pool.

Imagine saying goodbye to something that has been part of your last 365 days, while welcoming a new chapter with proper rituals that would make you smile but dead tired.

Imagine doing 5 things at the same time and being efficient at it, except that you don't have time to do little things that would have mattered to the one who matters most, like saying hello or I love you at the time they needed to hear your voice.

Imagine counting the hours by the second. Imagine being so near yet not close enough.

Each second, every fiber of time, counts. What you do with it is up to you.
