oh, don’t even think for a moment
to
not let all this
change you.

the internet will have you thinking
that
you’re fine the way you are.
you are not.

none of us are.

maybe it’s a generational thang.
how to know you’re “digital born” is
if
you ever looked at a meme and thought:
this gives me liiiiiiiiiiife!
it does not.

if
when i say that pixels arranged on a jpg
are not vitamins nor minerals
you respond with:
[eye roll emoji].

if
when i ask whether system updates are
a pastime reserved for robots
you say:
oh, don’t even…
technology is all we have rn.

maybe you’re right.
without the internet, how would i even express
that
i miss you IRL.
