There’s a curious kind of message that lands in our phones these days. It doesn’t carry news or affection or urgency. It simply says, “hi.” One word. Lowercase. No punctuation. No follow-up. Just a digital pebble thrown into the quiet pond of your day.You see it and pause. What is this about? Is something wrong? Did I miss something? You open the chat, stare at the solitary syllable, and then wait. Nothing comes. No explanation. No sentence. Not even a sticker. You’re left hanging in an awkward digital limbo, unsure if you should prompt them or just let the message float there like a lonely paper boat.
