Not the same, anymore.
Life has changed a lot in the past few years. I am not in my mid-30s, I am in my teenage years, yet things are not the same anymore. I remember when I was very young how we used to celebrate small events with great emotion and heart. But now it is not the same. We have limited our gatherings. I remember getting excited over small things like just going out to buy snacks. When we grow up, small things don’t excite us anymore. Isn’t it about the fact that joining a party is not the same anymore? We are all together but we have gadgets in our hands. We are more conscious than the previous generation but why are we not conscious of losing others? If we think about it, the changes are somehow destroying us.
With the help of the web, there is no doubt that we are more coherent. And we organise our things very well. The world is now a global village. Everything is in our hands but relationships are not. It is. But not everywhere.
I remember that night when the light went out in our town. Everyone comes out of their houses. And we children play and our mothers chat. And when the light comes, we all get sad. It was a time when people loved each other and took care of each other. I miss those moments. But now it is not the same. Thinking about those moments, gives me joy. Maybe I just hit the nostalgia. Sometimes I think, am I the same person who only wanted a mobile at one time? But not anymore. Well, I think it is necessary for us. As I prepared for my exam on my mobile.
It has red and blue tablets. It depends on the user. But I know I cannot distract myself from it. I am an old soul. I crave gatherings. Love, happiness. I feel isolated now. It cannot take away my loneliness.
There is no doubt that the benefits are many. You can chat with anyone, anywhere. You can see many things. You can learn and earn. But there is also a lack of that. I think these are the most real-time gatherings. Celebrating moments. And with that, we are also against the clock.
We should not forget our homes and spend time with them. To be happy.
Your words really touched my heart. I feel the same. Those simple moments and real gatherings you mentioned brought back many memories for me. We’re more connected to the world now, but less to the people around us. You expressed what many of us feel but can’t put into words....
