This made me sad

Why

I empathize with most people

nah i had my first one the month after leaving college

so right after high school

how about you start chasing your dreams/ be who you want to be. a man should always have a mission in life

I’m hyper aware and I’ve been using it to my advantage tbh

Been there. Work it out fam.

@sadfacetony_ sounds like disassociation

a decade of “dream” chasing gone

not my passion anymore fam

i ain’t dusty braids meek

kinda

If you woke then wake up

i was sleepwalkin

It really is f***ed the way everyone plays along with the current standards of how you live day to day. And people always complain about it but they do nothing about it. Everyone always complains and does nothing about it. They don’t take a chance on what potential we actually have when we work together but it’s understandable why they play along seeing as they don’t wanna risk losing things. We can move so much faster if we listen to each other and stop being selfish. And selfish people aren’t bad people they just play things too safe to not wanna lose anything

then you’ll end up like those you despise or become suicidal

im on the fence of being miserable

Not to hijack your post but this internet s*** got us f***ed up

especially when you get off the internet and really that nobody lives on earth

we live through this small screen

i feel like im so close that i can see the promise land but for whatever reason i just cant let go. whenever i drop some form of social media i get addicted to another. or i'll spend the day daydreaming about the future. every day i chase that high and that takes away from my studies or just progressing as a person. i dont know if this makes sense or fits in with what u are saying but i do agree with u and this is how i feel.

but maybe that "promise land" is a lie and the people who i perceive to be there are in the same spot as me. idk

reading it over i guess what i'm trying to say is that its not always the case that people want to live vicariously thru social media, some of us are trapped thanks to the way these platforms were built

we all need to watch six degrees of separation

come over here op lets be aware together ;)

im sorry i cant

i have a wife

is that the only reason ? ;)

no

No I know what you are saying. People in Buddhism call it enlightenment, it's what Jesus was trying to explain people, also what atheists and bohemians are trying to explain to religious people. We are too afraid of falling and the suffering/pain that comes from breaking free. It feels easier to just stay inside the simulations and bubbles we create or others create for us than to leave them and risk getting our bubbles burst by reality.
We're scared of being out of the loop, being outsiders. You gotta get a job, a house, a family, a dog, a car or you're weird and people start talking about what is wrong with you and why you don't want to be happy... Don't have IG or Facebook, ok. But imagine if you told anyone that you don't have a smartphone because you think it makes people live in their Ivory towers and it has caused society to be more divided and anti-social than ever in history? People will tell you that YOU are the one living in an Ivory tower, not them. I type too much sry but yeah just the way I see it.
