This shows just how mainstream emoji have become

Let your friends, fans or customers geek out about anything you want. No longer just a silly little icon that kids use, the emoji has become a staple in everyday communication for all ages. Using a smiley face in your communication makes the recipient feel like you are actually smiling.

Not very sure if what I did was too overboard but every friday we must go pray at 12:45 pm at the mosque, and my dad woke us up today for that.. in very annoying ways, yet I am not sure if I went overboard.

I took a break for a while because I was a little scared to start making friends after the friends I've lost in the past.
