The Internet

I'm so tired of humanity. All I see on Instagram are selfies and betrayal. All I see on Facebook are "heartfelt" birthday posts and cheap forms of entertainment. So I turn to my blog. Where only a small handful of people read my posts. Where my viewpoints are rashly thrown down in an electronic post, permanently documented on the internet. I see now that social media sites are nothing but a giant waste of life. They create forms of hatred and "love" that shouldn't exist. They create a species of gullible and weak people who rely on the internet to "be who they are". It creates a space to privately trash someone's life, and a space to think you're safe. It creates a false sense of friendship. It makes people blow things out of proportion and to jump on the bandwagon when the press drops the new hit story. Do we even matter anymore? No. We never did.
