Internet is a weird place

If I am what I have and if what I have is lost, who then am I?
Nobody but a defeated, deflated, pathetic testimony to a wrong way of living.

Internet is a weird place.

We are constantly trying to push the narrative

  • that we are as happy as anyone could be
  • that we are enjoying this one grand life all the time, all the more
  • that we’ve been to places; seen places
  • that we’re wise or mostly pretend to be one
  • that we’re hunting, gathering and treasuring memories
  • that we’re pretty, handsome, beautiful and attention slash praise worthy
  • that we’re self-acclaimed celebrity
  • that we’ve figured it all out and caption them for other to get a piece of that shallow knowledge, shallow experience
  • that we have a perfect life
  • that we are somebody we are not.

Namaste.
