I'll make it to the top 7 one day 😅
Nice collection.
One question though, what is the meaning of 🕋 in number 4?
I was trying to find emojis to fit each title, and was hunting/pecking around for ones that seemed to fit. #4 was definitely the hardest.
Having now actually searched that emoji, it wasn't the right choice for this context. Thanks for the gentle heads up -- I'm swapping it out with a 🔲 emoji.
as a an emoji fan myself, I know the struggle 😅
