Catch This

Catch this:
language was never meant to be a locked box. 🔒📦
It was a river 🌊 — a storm ⚡ — a thousand hands throwing shapes in the air. 🖐️✨

What if it still is?

Before the pen ✒️,
before the printing press 🖨️,
before the blinking cursor ➡️⌨️,
there was breath. 🌬️
There was dance. 💃🏽🕺🏽
There was a scratch on a wall, a song in a darkened cave. 🎶🖐️🦣

And now?
We make faces out of pixels. 😊😢🎉
We shoot tiny suns and broken hearts across time zones. 🌞💔🌍

Emoji?
They’re not the end of communication.
What if they’re just a remix? 🎛️🎶
A riff. 🎸
A colourful reminder that meaning was always a game of catch. 🎯

One person throws —
another leaps to catch it. 👐🏽
Sometimes you miss.
Sometimes you invent a new game mid-air. 💥🎯

What if that’s the whole point?

Creativity is what happens
when language forgets to follow the rules for a minute
and remembers how to play. 🧩

Play is not the opposite of seriousness.
Play is how we carry heavy things lightly.

Grief 😢.
Joy 😄.
Hope 🌈.
Regret 😔.

They move better when we let them dance a little. 💃🏽🕺🏽

A string of emoji — a 💔, a 🌈, a ☕ —
can sometimes say what a thousand words cannot.

It’s not childish.
It’s ancient.
It’s sacred.

It’s how we say:
“I’m here. I see you. Catch this.”
🔥🕊️✨
