Dear internet, I hate you.

We tell us that it's okay,
that this new day and age is better than the past.
But I'm not so sure.
We tell us that we can stay connected,
so it's okay if we choose to live far away.
But I can tell you right here and now,
it is all a lie.
Internet just makes it worse.
We create an illusion of that everything,
and everyone, is close by.
That no one is ever far away.
But it's not true.
The internet can never replace reality.
A skype conversation can never replace a five hour long visit to a café.
A facebook message cannot replace the feeling of just bumping into an old friend.
We pretend this is the world we want,
where we have friends all over the world.
But it's not true.
If I could have one wish,
that would be to take everyone I know and love,
and place them all in the same country.
If I could be more specific,
I'd place them all in the same town.
I say screw the internet,
it is just a constant reminder of the people you've lost,
and the people you miss.
