Yes everyone talks about how the internet has ruined us.
Taken away some jobs.
Corrupted young minds.
Split relationships and families due to addiction.
Yes, it is not a lie that the internet had bad influence on us at some point.
But have you ever reasoned that the internet at some point
is the main only reason why some people haven’t gone into depression?
They get to watch funny shows.
Meet new people, learn new things and making internet friends.
Talking about friends,
do you realise that the internet holds relationships together?
Imagine inseparable friends, lovers
having no choice but to split.
The only medium of communication.
Her gadgets become her safe space because it’s their only connection with that person.
The internet gives them the assurance of:
“Yess, he’s alive, yes I get to see him again.”
So sometimes that girl addicted to her phone is not wrong
It’s the only contact she has to her friend, her safe space.
The only set of people she feels warmth [from].
She misses them so bad, she wishes she could slip into her phone and get a peek,
at least a whiff of the perfume.
It has one hope of sanity.
Her hold from depression.
Her point of happiness.
Her point of contact to the ones she loves.
So she always on it because she’s either waiting for a
text, a call, a voice message,
or she’s scrolling through old pictures.
The internet keeps her sane.
