My generation…
by epi
& the ones that come after me, we don’t know how to say goodbye. We never left home, not really. I’ve had facebook since my freshman year of college. I check it the moment I wake up. I know that there are some out there, who might judge me by the contents of my digitized address book. There are pictures, posts and thoughts dating back to late adolescence. Nothing is forgotten. No one is forgotten.
So why, then, do so many feel so alone? If we can have a record of almost everything we’ve ever said, if we are one click away from contact with almost anyone, why this shadow of pervasive loneliness? There’s more to say, but too much to do…

Thanks to all these digital ways to keep our memories, we are a bit inactive nowadays. We have the cellphone at hand to remember the date, we have the laptop from where we can order a pizza, no need to get out! Want to see your mom? Turn on the skype & she is here with you. We don’t have to stay together to be together. Living alone is a good option. But, after a long day from work, & after having some chatter with the friends(on the internet of course), when a person goes to sleep, that’s where loneliness creeps out of the mind. You can chat with a friend only if you get him/her online, otherwise not. And, he/she is not gonna be online for you at 3 am in the night, when you are desperately looking for someone to talk.
You know Epi, that’s when people get alone.
Or… are they alone in expecting to have someone to talk to at 3 am? if their expectations were lower, would it be easier for them to fight loneliness? i think what i’m saying is, maybe people “get alone” because they expect not to be.
that’s it……
that’s it.
