Texts You Wouldn't Want to Receive.

More than ever, we prefer texting to actually speaking up. It's convenient and has its advantages but what happens is eventually we all wind up sending these harsh texts to each other. We type out our last words to people instead of saying goodbye to them. And in some unfortunate cases, these last words could very well be our last words.

http://thelastmessagereceived.tumblr.com/ is a project that collects the last texts people received from their loved ones. It's at once heartbreaking and eye-opening. Who here hasn't sent out a mean text to someone? So, yeah, the message is share someone's grief online and be wise enough to bite your tongue and not send that last text.

PS: The good people at Windows and Google, you help people recall e-mails they have sent. Why can't you help people recall Text messages too?
