not to be like uhhrhjugh technology scary and bad but social media has definitely to some extent messed up the way we perceive people and relationships its sad

you dont know somebody personally because you follow them on twitter. you arent best buds with somebody because youre mutuals with them on tumblr. you are not entitled to every bit of information from their life. its become mainstream to share a lot on social media but you still dont know them and the healthiness of pouring out your feelings for a couple likes on a site full of strangers, especially if youre young, is debatable. approaching interpersonal relationships in real life the same way you do online is especially worrisome and frankly it only sets you up for social disappointment

i’m real mixed up. i feel like my fingers are finally holding onto something, but i’m not sure what. it feels like a broken promise, or the sharp edge of a cliff. one moment i feel like i’ve got it, like my bones remember how to shape a form. then at night a ghost comes back to me. she asks me what i was before you. or what i was with you. and if this happiness is the cellophane before the break, like i just have to tug and it all comes down again. i’m covering myself with mud and calling it sunscreen. like i’m not digging my grave i’m just lying in the dirt. when the flood comes in i tell myself, hey, this is the new breathing. it’s kind of comforting. a warm suffocating. this is the new surviving.
