x Noise

x Distractions
(Self imposed and collective)

x Advertising screaming in our faces

x Laptops and phones forcing us to pick them up

"Responsibilities"

I take time in solitude,

and head away to the mountains

I go quiet for a while and spend time sorting my head,

? How does he act?

? What does he read?

Computers are a fake world, Images are a fake world, Videos are a fake world Shopping is fake dopamine Scrolling is fake dopamine Even movies are fake dopamine The screen is a portal, To take you inside "the internet" A digital world Where most are consumed Use it to create For others to consume But always realise... The real world is outside the screen I'll see you tomorrow Jake. Ps. You are alive, you are here, be here, exist in this life, that is whats "real"

Didn't you say, you hated the way things were? Didn't you say, you want change? Wasn't this "your year" ...? So why are you going to wake up tomorrow in the same place as today? Tomorrow, is a fallacy. It is the dream killer. Tomorrow doesn't exist. The actions you take today, build the person you are tomorrow Do it now. Do it today. Do it tired. Do it happy.
