Video Messages vs. Static Pics – Worth It?

Static pics are nice but flat; text carries the words but no energy. When she waves excitedly at something I said or does that playful tongue-out thing after teasing me, it adds this spark of personality that makes her feel present in the moment. I find myself smiling at my phone like an idiot because the expressions and tiny gestures sell the connection harder – it's like getting a real voice note with visuals. Doesn't need to be long or fancy; the brevity keeps it natural and not overproduced. For immersion, it's easily the biggest upgrade over text-only or still images – keeps me engaged longer without feeling forced. If you haven't tried turning them on consistently, give it a week on this website – the difference in how "alive" the chats feel is noticeable right away.
