So, I have a weird thought.

Why do we use social media? We say we use it most of the time to escape reality right? We tell ourselves that it's to escape the pain of the real world and to ignore reality... But is it just me or does this fake place seem to become more and more like our reality everyday? Real life things are always happening here, heartbreak, sadness, anger, frustration, stress. All these issues we try to escape are seeping their way into this blissful place of ignorance we call the internet and everyday we get to see more and more of the stress come in. When I used to come on the internet, I could say that it was to relieve stress... ...But now I tell people, hey I need to get off the internet to de-stress. Kind of funny how that whole thing switched around isn't it? That the one thing we used to escape stressful life is now more stressful than the life we tried to ignore for a few hours at a time. That's just my thoughts...

@Deadcutie And there it is, reality outside of real life and not being yourself in real life
