Hmm what do you mean no no no I'm good I'm good I'm just gonna have some water honestly I'm fine I've been um I drink too much this week so I gotta take a few you know days off and rehydrate but you go ahead and you go ahead and whatever you want to get oh I mean sure go whatever you like to talk about um I mean yeah be as random as you want to be I don't really it's good well what's up no no no come on you were just about to ask I mean go ahead I'm not gonna judge you I'm not gonna nothing no no it's no judgment here whatever you want to talk about the random or the better honestly I hate small talk so I mean we're both at this party barely know each other might not even run into each other ever again so go ahead whatever you want to talk about here I'll tell you this you seem like a very very beautiful person to have a conversation with like it seems like having conversations with you will be insanely enjoyable so whatever your question is I'm ready to talk about it I'm ready to just listen but I'm ready to talk about it seems like you want to talk about something with someone so I'm here for you I'm ready to hop right in whatever it is that you no judgment give you my opinion and my thoughts that's all okay so you go right ahead what is it it's okay go ahead no judgment mm-hmm mm-hmm yeah yeah go yeah no no I know exactly what you're fucking talking about I know exactly what you mean what you're saying I agree with you full-heartedly you know yes the modern era like the days that we're living in you know the whole social media and all that shit living through a screen I mean it's a real it's real and it's I hate the fact that it's so necessary like like follow me on this follow me you see that like people are like oh well get off social media get off your phone like live more like go outside more do whatever the fuck yeah it's fine but that doesn't take away the fact that you literally need a phone you need an Instagram you need a Facebook you need all these things to actually live nowadays you get what I mean like we actually need the fucking this little rectangular piece of technology we need it the phone right we need it so much we need it more than it needs us by far right and it's upsetting because at the same time we are wasting away so much time so much I don't know how to explain it you know you were doing such a great job no no because what I mean is like I know people say this and it like sounds like oh I'm so woke like that's not what I'm saying what I'm saying is it's fucking true and it's saddening all right the fact that people live through their phones and we live more on the phone than we actually do live like in real life like through life like moments because when you think about it what type of moment are you living when you comment on a post or what type of moment are you living when you're scrolling through your Instagram feed or your tick-tock or whatever it is what are you really living through there you're consuming content but that's not really living I mean it's the same I guess in a way it's the same as just watching movies or something but then again that's alright it's just when it gets so out of control right when you wake up in the morning and the first thing you do is grab your phone that's when I think it really needs to be dialed back a little bit you agree right you understand yeah exactly like I yes yes that's exactly what yeah we're understand you see I told you could share you could share these things with a total stranger at a party you just met who doesn't drink who's drinking water no but like for real for real like that's what I'm trying I've been trying to say too and I'm glad that you said it to me because it makes me feel like I'm not alone and I'm not saying that I'm much better than anyone else because I do the same thing I'm the person that reaches for their phone as soon as they wake up and it's saddening you know I feel like a piece of shit sometimes when I've spent two hours just scrolling right yeah but what else can we do about it as as far as just limiting it right and trying to not let it overtake your life you can't help but feel like it does you can't help but feel like you need it so much there isn't really much else to do especially if you don't have a hobby if you don't have friends it becomes everything it becomes an addiction so and let's that's without talking about the fact that it is very very very toxic when you live through your Instagram through your tick-tock through your whatever it is when you live through it everyone's so fake on there and then people are faking your face but at least they're right there being fake I don't know if that makes sense but for some reason it's better than them being faked through a fucking screen but that's all I have to share about that I mean I just agree with you I agree with you totally absolutely there's nothing we can do about it every individual has to make their peace has to make their decisions has to try to do the best they can that's what we try to do every day right yeah but uh I'm just glad you shared this with me I really am you see see what happens we can take a moment take a chance on a stranger and you just share you're my friend now we're gonna hang out this entire party well I'm not gonna drink remember I'm just I'm gonna get another water did you want something else then we can talk about something else that bothers us I really I literally will use you as my vent buddy and you you can vent to you you can vent to me we can just have a great time venting even about this whatever you want I'll be right back okay all right.
