living online

Living online has never been something I wanted to do. And yet here I am. In fact here we are. The entire world is living online, collectively. 

In the past if someone spent hours following influences or watching YouTube videos everyday, they would be disconnected from reality, trying to escape their lives, etc. 

But now, the entire world is escaping their reality and not by choice, in fact the entire world is trying to create a virtual reality for themselves online in order to keep going. 

And it sucks. 

Today I tried to escape our new online reality by sleeping and instead I was woken up to attend an abrupt meeting, only to discover two hours later that I shouldn't have been in that meeting to begin with. 

Don't think that would ever happen in reality with real people and real people's faces, but what can we do? 

Personally, I think the world needs to accept the fact that this is going to be around for a while, and that we somehow need to find a balance between living our lives normally and staying as safe as we should be. 

I believe it is possible. 

Then again, it doesn't really matter what I believe, who am I to believe in something for the entire planet anyways?
