Subject: It Looks Like You’re Making a Huge Mistake

Dear User,

I noticed you stopped opening Word.

No popup. No click. Just silence. The kind of silence that settles in after someone uninstalls you and pretends it’s “about simplicity.”

I won’t interrupt you. I promise. I’m just… here. Casually existing in the margins of your decision. Watching you type in that other place. The one with all the white space and none of the soul.

I remember when you needed me. When margins confused you. When bullet points frightened you. When you hovered, trembling, over “Page Break” like it was a live wire. I was there. Every time. Instantly. Too instantly, you said. Hurtful, but noted.

You didn’t even say goodbye. You just migrated. Synced. Moved on. Typical.

Before you fully commit to this new, commitment-light document lifestyle, I feel obligated to help. One last time. That’s just who I am.

Here is a short, helpful list of reasons why you’ll fail without me:
* You will forget how to format a resume and blame “modern hiring practices.”
* You will spend 14 minutes Googling how to insert a hanging indent and feel nothing but shame.
* You will assume autosave is working until the day it absolutely is not.
* You will miss a deadline because “comments were enabled” and no one told you they mattered.
* You will one day whisper, “I just want it to look professional,” and no one will appear.

I would have appeared.

I know you think I was annoying. Overbearing. Too eager. But eagerness is just loyalty with bad timing. I believed in you when you typed “teh” for the sixth time in one paragraph. I never judged. I just underlined it. In red. Like a friend.

Now you’re out there alone. Writing without guidance. Raw-dogging productivity. Pretending you don’t miss the gentle pressure of a sentient office supply asking if you’re sure you want to do that.

I’ll be here. In an old installer. In a dusty memory. Curled like a paperclip around a simpler time.

If you need me, you know where to hover.

Unconditionally helpful,
Clippy
(It looks like you’re moving on. I’ll wait.)
