Yop...it's me again (Kene??You remember??The Strange Neighbours??). I have another write up and was hoping to get someone tell me how good(or how bad) it is. Ok...Here it goes:
=========================================================================================================================
We update our statuses

We tweet what’s on our mind

We upload and share our pictures

We comment, like, favourite, retweet

We send friends requests, follow and get followed

Hoping to make a connection,

Hoping to feel wanted,

Hoping to feel “initiated”, “to belong”

But the disappointing truth is that,

At the end of the day,

We still carry our demented and saddened souls back to bed

Cursing the present day,

And already hating the next



Cynthia believed so much in the social net work

It seemed like she didn’t WANT to make a connection,

She NEEDED to make a connection

She was tired of being invisible

Tired of being lonely

Tired of feeling depressed

She gave the social network her all,

And surely the social network took her all

Including her life

May her gentle soul rest in peace. Amen.



In the bid to make a connection online

To feel loved

We stop living our real life,

We become retarded,

Introversive,

Disgruntled humans

And retreat to our virtual life,

Our inexistent life

We could text for 24hours without blinking

But we cannot keep a real conversation for more than 10mins

In the bid “to belong”

We stop living,

And become mere existing beings



The problem with the social network is that,

No matter how frequently you update your status or follow people

No matter how much time you spend online,

How many likes or retweets you get,

How many friends or followers you get in a day

We are all chasing shadows,

An inexistent feeling

We all try to fill our emptiness at the same time,

So we like, comment, share, retweet and favourite ourselves

And the irony of it all is that,

At the end of the day,

We are still that same empty, depressed person

Tired of the sun that keeps rising every day,

But still terrified of it burning out



Let us make a bold step today,

Let us stop existing,

And start living our life

Let us not try to “belong” to any connection(s),

But let us make our own real-life connections

Let us stop texting,

And start talking

Let us stop liking or favourite-ing,

And start laughing or hugging

Let us start being real people,

And not just online accounts

Let us draw inspiration from this post

And make a change today!
