I don’t go on social media anymore

I deactivated my account a few years ago

I imagine it was like dying

It felt good to let go

But it’s interesting how I found myself redefining my values

And not being obsessed with what people think of you

Thumbs up, another dopamine hit

Staring, posting, scrolling

How many can one get

The modern-day idol

Logging in’s like a recital

Till it becomes effortless, thoughtless

Engulfed in the cloud, in a stream, in a comment

Before you know it, your whole day, your whole life is spent

I’d rather be detached and present

Strolling rather than scrolling

With real friends

Here, not virtual

Confident in my own choices

Living life on a roll

Experiencing unforgettable moments

Owning it

Happier than ever

Disconnected from the endless scroll
