Data Exhaustion

I watched my data disappear today,

not with a loud goodbye,

but in silent megabytes.

One scroll became ten.

One video became another.

One click opened a hundred doors,

and before I knew it,

the balance was gone.

TikTok  especially 😔

The screen still glowed,

but the connection had faded.

Messages refused to send.

Pages stood frozen.

Dreams paused behind a loading circle.

In this digital world,

running out of data

can feel like losing your voice.

The conversations stop.

The music goes silent.

The lessons wait.

The opportunities drift away.

I closed my phone for a moment

and smiled at the irony.

Something invisible

had quietly controlled my day.

Tomorrow I'll buy another bundle,

hoping it lasts a little longer.

But today,

my data has taken its final breath,

leaving only buffering,

patience,

and a reminder

that even the smallest things

can leave the biggest silence.
