Stepping out into the light. (2/365)

So far I have been staying a recluse solitary life with very handful of friends and with minimal to no contact or presence on the social networks.  Apart from the instagram picture uploads I have been totally absent from everywhere else. Though it has definitely served me well, life of loneliness has definitely started to have serious impact on my social skills to the point of being antisocial.

Chatting used to be more fun back in the day...but now with so much of connectivity it has started to become irritating and relationships and connections more meaningless.

Getting a call from your friend once in a week or a month meant so much more and you had a lot to share.  Now we are always connected and together through chats and voice messages.

Noone writes anything meaningful.  Gone are the days of love letters and poetries and flattery. Noone takes even a minor interest in writing out something good. Thus I feel we have lost the flair for communication. We have lost the respect for technology and connectivity.

Kindhearted and good words are replaced by memes and troll images. Birthday calls are replaced by a whatsapp message in broken English "bday". Everyone wants to just acknowledge with no emotions behind it. Thank yous have lost their meanings and so have sorrys.

This is what I thought all along and maybe I could be right. But we still have redeeming qualities. We are still in contact and I should be much more appreciative of people even if it is a simple good night.

This year probably I have decided to be more social. Reply to comments and contribute to discussions and conversations. Also reply to any comments I might get. Maybe I might slip back to my recluse self or maybe not...but I shall definitely try this out.
