Connect 4


I decided
To quit facebook
(Again)
Because I want
More real connections
I want to feel validated in real life
And not by status updates
And number of likes

Because despite over 1200 "friends"
Out there in cyberland
I feel incredibly disconnected
I organize events
And invite people
And most don't even bother to reply
One or two may come along
And the connection with them is wonderful
But all too often
I feel so alone
And perhaps it's just London
Perhaps it's just me
Perhaps it's depression
Keeping me at bay

So by quitting
And disconnecting
I'm actually hoping to connect more
And see friends more often

And for all the dear folk I know
Over oceans and continents far away
There's still email and skype and viber and what's app and tango
I'm not going anywhere
I just want it to be more real

The end.
