Perplexed feelings made of pixels.

Living inside of a broken Rubik's cube.

What can you see in the Rorschach test?

What can you smell in a photograph of a forest?

A click away from another domino effect.

Another wasted day of a vague life.

Temporary joy behind a tempered glass.

We don't consider airplanes as miracles no more.

Heroes of fairytales are retired; nobody cares about their stories no more.

An eternal sunshine in a digital simulation.

Tired of the same old scenery?

You can always change your wallpaper.

Tired of the silence of your house?

You can always put on some music.

Tired of your sadness?

Post a happy emoji.

Amusement is a tsunami which you surf.

The forgotten memories and oppressed feelings lie underneath.

But you will never dive in and explore them, no, not yet.

Not untill you have read every other post about what other people feel.

Not untill you have seen every other photograph about other people's life.

Not untill you have learned about everyone else except you.

Your self-understanding continuously moves away from you.

Every click is another footstep.
