Digital world

Life got a little easier for you to stand up for yourself, you felt a little less anxious about wanting to be heard and seen. It was easier to pacify time and ignore the parts of your life that were falling apart. It was meant to bring likeminded people together and open communication. It succeeded in many ways and failed all of us in other ways. 

We stopped making time for people and started making excuses for endless hours wasted in a digital world that was surreal.

It backfired and the world has gone mad! We think we are all different, but we all fall in line with the flow of some crowd. Let’s all pretend like the world around us exists on another realm. You aren’t any less smug. It’s so easy to keep yourself distracted with socialmedia bullshit. Whatever it was, however, it was, it became disassociation, detachment, and ultimately a comfort zone. 

I mean, after all we could pretend to be who and what we really wanted to be, safely all behind a keyboard. But. Is that who you really are or is it just another mask? Is it just another broken piece of glass, a fragment, a glimpse of who you could be? At some point you will come to terms with the reality of who you sold out to be, why you traded your soul for it and scamper to reconcile who you truly are. There’s still a reflection of you on that phone, monitor or ipad.

Maybe you will find you are enough. And find strength. You can choose to only wear the mask at a masquerade or on halloween. The idea of who you want to be can be reality, but only you can breathe life into it. Don’t let other people’s perception of you or how they think you should be, change you. 

They’re not you, they’ll never be you, and That is your gift. 

You can free yourself from this electronic addiction and fight with every breath that you have to be all of these versions you masterfully created of yourself. Because maybe, just maybe, a lot of all of those versions - are you.

The crowd isn’t a good fit for you though. It’s time to break free and stand on your own. You’ll probably lose people. But you won’t lose yourself. It won’t be easy to unravel habits that have become second nature.

But it’s definitely time to Unfuck yourself. It’s time to scream. It’s time to get your knuckles bloody. Mighty is your sword, wield your power.
