Disconnected

Smiling, laughing, crying... typing. Typing that I'm happy, sad, emotional, touched. Compensating for the lack of warmth in text; trying to convert my feelings into words, so that they can experience them with me. Lost emotion.

Texting, DMing, posting... about life. A life full of beauty, love, joy and perfection. Hiding away the loneliness and sullen days, and a life without a break. Because no one needs to know about the wrappers under my bed and my unchecked to-do list. Selective sharing.

Leaving, walking, watching... the world. A world full of people eating, drinking, sleeping, being. Bumping into strangers at the coffee shop, who I won't forget for years to come. Away from my thousands of followers and hundreds of friends. My phone lies alone. Somehow forgotten.
