I was on my bed yesterday scrolling IG, YT, TT and I'm like what in the actual fuck am I doing?
Nothing's entertaining. I have no reason to be on it
I freaking stared at the ceiling for like 2 hours while my muscles were sore from working out. Better than scrolling the feed
Like, world today is so strange
I have this feeling in perpetuity. Like, christ this is what we spent our whole lives preparing for? Watching everyone we know drift into obscurity through a digital lens? The people who say college / teens are "happiest times in their life" - do you get it wasn't freedom from responsibility? You HAD responsibility. It was freedom from isolation.
Very well put. The freedom from isolation is so spot on, you perfectly described this vague feeling I've had for like a decade now, but have struggled to put into words.
You go from being surrounded by 600-1000+ other kids to.... The 10 dudes you know at work lmao, was like a splash of cold water the first year after graduating.
Love you bro
You too brother, much love
These kind of stranger interactions are what keeps me coming back to reddit.
Y'all keep being awesome.
I struggled a lot with this post-high school but kept it to myself because you get labeled as "a loser who peaked in high school" whereas in reality I just need community around me. Going from seeing your friends 5 days a week to once or twice a month (and just the friends who stayed in your hometown) is such a mind fuck.
I'm back in school and even that experience is diluted. Granted there is way more opportunity because there's so many people, but college socialization is way different than it used to be. I constantly see posts on my school subreddit about how people can't make friends. Gen Z socializes a lot differently than we used to. I'm not blaming them though, they were born into it.
I started undergrad a while back. All we had was email and instant messenger. Texts cost money so they weren't as prevalent. In hindsight it was a dream come true that helped push us to know the people around us on a more human level. To this day I value some of them like kin.
Also in the USA, going to college might be the only time a person gets to live in a walkable community.
Now THAT is fucked up.
& when someone proposes the idea of a '15 minute city', where you can get all of your food and errands within a 15 minute radius (& therefore ditch your car), you get called a freedom-taker.
Bonus points if you can also WFH & can just rent a car for day-trips/weekend-trips...if you can afford them.
People wouldn't need to pay for fuel, repairs, oil-changes, wear/tear on their car, etc. ie: save thousands!
Dunno how you get past 5minutes of it without being annoyed at the stupidity on there lol.
lmao. 💯 Can't fucking stand it. Reddit is great though.
I'll sit on my balcony for a few hours and just look into the forest and pond with some soft music; think about whatever crosses my mind and just enjoy the peace.
The internet has become unbearable since everyone lives their lives thru it now.
We all have this issue because we're all legitimately addicted to smartphones and yet nobody seems to want to put limitations on tech companies for what they've created. At first they were solving real problems and creating innovative tech, now phones have barely evolved in almost a decade and have just become social media machines while a new generation of kids become engrossed in the idea that being a content creator is the peak of modern existence.
You're right, world today is strange as fuck.
this is a poem to me. i hope you know that
My current addictions is spending 6 hours, that feels like 2, 3D modeling and animating. Its been cutting into the time I wanna spend on video games.
