The Group Chat
Let’s take a moment to appreciate one of life’s greatest gifts: the group chat.
Where else can you get free therapy, breaking news, unhinged memes, and unsolicited (but usually correct) advice—all in the same scroll? Also let's not forget about OPD - other people's drama. It's drama I'm not involved in - and I love that for me.
This Founder Friday is a Group Chat Appreciation Email for these currently active group chats I have going:
The Mom Chat - Taking bets on the next school closure, figuring out who's kid isn't in the photos that day because "someone" got sent home with lice. Who all is going to the birthday party this weekend? Who wants to meet at the food truck park? This chat is honestly my little text happy place.
The Founder Chat - This group chat keeps me sane. We really understand each other, love celebrating each other, and no question is a dumb question.
The Sorority Sisters - This is for inside jokes only. No real conversations allowed.
The High School Friends - not the most active but blows up when there's small town gossip. I live for this!
Stig Family Chat - Pretty much just me sending photos of my really cute kids, us talking about how much we miss my oldest brother (who passed away in September), and my dad responding with "Like it" and "Good pic"
HQ Babes - This is a DM group of DD HQ queens that is basically me sending them ridiculous ideas I have that I want their approval on - like this one.
Y'all, group chats are so much more than just texts. They’re comfort.
They’re distractions when you need them and a warm hug when you need one. They are LOLs on demand.
They’re proof that no matter what life throws at you, your people are only one message away.
