Missed connection
How many social media websites will it take for us to stop feeling lonely?
It's so easy to like an instagram post, to make a tweet, to add friends on facebook. So easy to feel interesting, admired, validated. We continue to cast our nets into the abyss to find more people like us, mistaking validation for finding a connection.
Somehow all social media platforms have been able to keep me longing for a human connection all while making me feel seen, heard, and desired. I'm exhausted.
Time to hitch my wellbeing not to online validation, but what I sacrificed to receive it.
