You HAVE to love the moment after your phone dies and you are left hunched over the screen, your eyes deprived of the blue light to which they have grown accustomed, your mind deprived of the distraction from the horrors of your reality, to behold your own image (reverse Narcissus) in all its double-chinned, acne-scarred, chocolate-stained and cheeto-dusted glory, and horrified by who you have become, and you are full of guilt and (remorse) exhaustion, and you are (entirely, devastatingly) alone, and you blink, and you get up, and you (cry) (look in the mirror?) go plug in your phone and get some more cheetos

No, really, you have to love it. It's the law.

#i dont know what compelled me to write this #but #to be clear #this isnt coming from the old mindset of “all technology is bad and everyone who uses social media is dumb”#because that isnt true and never has been #this is coming from somebody with the kind of mild screen addiction that most people have #who generally enjoys being creative and using entertainment platforms and interacting with people online #but who is also somewhat frustrated with my relationship with my phone #and very frustrated by the way social media and videogames and screens in general are thought of and talked about in the world #screen addiction #phone addiction #relatable #is this relatable?#does anyone feel like this?#im whispering into the void #self awareness #i dont know #i have so much work to do #and my executives are dysfunctioning #i am having a Bad Go of it #its just #its been quite a month #you know?#maybe ill make a ventpost #later tho #all ye who find my ramblings here #have a good day #or night #or else
