Meaning and Interpretation
🛟 Alright, so this isn't just for the pool. Think of it as the digital version of throwing someone a rope. You're drowning in work? Send a 🛟. Your friend is stressing about a big test? Throw them a 🛟 to say 'I got you.' It's for those 'I'm on the struggle bus' moments, whether you need saving or you're the one doing the saving. It's a chill way to say 'help' or 'I'm here for you' without being too dramatic.
