I just realized that we are closer to 2030 than 2020

Time flies

That pandemic reset was a big reset. We were never the same after that pandemic. I often find myself appreciating the pre-pandemic times more than the post-pandemic times.

Maybe it’s because I’m younger and don’t have to go to work and stack my income by learning constantly learning about what is happening on the stock market. Or maybe because I was not aware of the monstrosity happening in the world.

The media did damage my brain. In a way, I think we are now overly connected. Social media was always meant to make us connected, but now we are more connected with our phones than with the real world. There’s a reason “touch the grass” is a meme strolling around the internet after the pandemic.

Now we love to go breathe fresh air, the feeling hits different knowing that to appreciate nature, you don’t really need to use the phone. We got connected so much, we want to disconnect from the world inside the media, we want to escape the expectation, we want to escape the comparison.

Unplug

Stop being too connected to what’s happening on social media and start being connected to something important in the real world.
