I am someone who has made a living out of social media, yet, I can't tell you how overwhelmed I am with this little thing, especially when it comes all handy in the form of a smartphone. Yes, I could always go back to the basics and purchase a regular phone with which only calls can be made and texts can be send but dependability and FOMO is real. As much as I am tired of this, I can't also imagine a life without it, how ironic!
There are times when it gets too overwhelming. Like, when Instagram shows you a reel with content that's going through your head or things that you are worried about and then it's absolute chaos. I don't want to begin discussing peer pressure. It's all a mess, yet we are all consumed by it.
I don't think there is ever a going back. Great if we could. Otherwise, I don't know what life would become. Technology sure has made life convenient, but at what cost?
I am scared. I already feel lonely despite all these possibilities of making connections. There is nothing real. Everyone is busy scrolling. Noone has time for real connection. Even if you meet, all are busy clicking pictures for the gram.
I wish I could go back to the orkut era with a lil faster internet and stay there. No meta. No fb. No ads. No WhatsApp. Kinda nice it was. Sigh.
Ok I think I am done blabbering. Okbye.
