Lately when texting or typing someone a message, rather than just typing an emoji, I'll sometimes click to see what emoticon gifs are available. And there are so many smiling, laughing, crying, etc. faces, but *none* of them look like the simple smile I had in mind. Then I have to decide whether to use one of those sort-of-creepy-looking smiley icons, or not to insert a smiley after all.
Sometimes, I want to add a cute image to the end of my message, because there are so many available, right? So I start scrolling through them... oh that's a nice palm tree, I could use that maybe... oh a cute elephant.. a crab... a fox... a heart with stars in it.. But then I wonder, will the other person appreciate the cute image, or will they wonder why I'm sending them an image of a palm tree, or of a fox...
