There is something so sad about going online and seeing almost everyone shouting โNotice me, notice me!โ Which is such a human desireโto be acknowledged. But me responding to that with some sort of โYouโre noticed, youโre seenโ only perpetuates the loneliness. Because Iโm not seeing you; Iโm not noticing you. And whoever you are, you so deserve to be noticed and valued. I feel lucky to have not grown up with the Internet because it forced me to get out, struggle and be so messy.
