Untitled?

Kelsey Hebert

    My eyebrows will scrunch up as I see your name on that wall of fame or however not fame but a wall of some sort where you persistently post your every move and update six million times in one day as your childhood passes you by quicker than you think. The words of the adolescents that make me want to vomit continuously and give up on any inkling of sanity that I forced myself to believe I had. The false hope and masculinity that still surrounds what you think is mildly inspiring but you may soon come to realize that the life you live in is only a fraction of what is to come. As I see your name time after time giving advice or meaningless input on the words of others mature and more talented than yourself, I realize the only thing that matters to you is the rectangular keypad in your back pocket and your significant, although insignificant, other you believe is yours. While I sit here with a pen and a notebook of full pages you type on that keypad of yours to tell your best friend you love them but really your life would go on far more smoothly if they weren’t there. As the time passes and you grow closer and closer to technology, more of your brain turns to mush until you are forced to pick a career from your college degree and care for your significant other that actually matters. When it comes time to pull away from your ever so loving technology is when you will learn that trying to please others is way less fun and far more uninteresting than trying to please yourself but by then pleasing yourself will be ruled as impossible in your eyes because of all those years you spoiled yourself thinking everyone was significant when really they were just another post on your wall, another letter on your keypad.
