Conversions from a text and mind perspective
1.
I hope it works out this time, I silently pray as I cross my fingers and stare at my phone's screen after mentally getting over the first guy who never responded to my texts, it's whatever right, it shouldn't bother me like it does, I mean it's only a dating app or a hook up app whatever you want to say so it's not like we'll meet in real life right?

"Good God Get a Grip Girl,"
"Hi, thank you so much (smiley face)-..."

"Hi, tanhk uoy-..."

"Hi Tsepho, name is Lwazi, and thank you by the way, you're handsome too," -(read)
Okay wow that was alarmingly fast.

"Thanks (inserts laughing emoji), but that's not me in my profile, here's my picture though..." -(photo recieved)
Did I just not die, no like really did I just not die. Here, right infront of my eyes, inside my phone in a form of a digital replica is a smooth skinned chocolate man, man I say MAN, with a mini beard, brown eyes and a perfect jaw, oh gosh I think I'm drooling,
