I have very little in my life here in the physical world, and I spend most of my time alone. So I really value the connections I've made here.
At the same time, for personal reasons I won't get into, sometimes it also crosses my mind to leave the internet entirely and never chat with anyone online again.
Sometimes I just want to go back to simpler times, before I had an internet connection.
Sometimes I wish I could go back to childhood innocence, and seeing the world through rose tinted glasses.
Sometimes I wish I didn't feel so much, or carry this level of awareness.
Sometimes I genuinely envy people who are… unaware of certain things.
Sometimes I want to go back to the 80s and 90s. Intellectually, I know not everything was perfect back then. But some things felt easier, healthier, and more natural.
And despite personal things I went through as a child, the wider world didn't feel as cruel. Not with my rose tinted glasses on. And not with this current state of emotional nostalgia at the wheel.
"Take me back, I wanna' go…" 🌿
