MY GLITCH IN THE MATRIX

So connected, but so far apart.

We’re starving for a true connection,

something meaningful, something deep, intense, real. Aren’t we all? It can’t be just me. Though sometimes I fear that it is.

But we get nothing beyond the superficial. Shallow interactions, whether in person or online, exchanging niceties and small talk and boring boring bland fake fake. Try to move beyond that, they just look at you or react to you like you’ve gone mad. Meanwhile you feel like you’re trying to interact with an empty shell, a vessel moving about the planet with the appearance of a human, but there’s nothing there.

Social media was supposed to make us more connected, but it’s made us further apart than ever. We’re just shouting into the void. No one really hears us, sees us, acknowledges us, let alone seeks to establish any real connection.

Unless it’s fake. Oh yes, the scammers want to have a conversation, be your best friend.. let you in on this new super secret crypto coin that will bring you millions of dollars if you just give them $2000 right now… yeah, I’m really sick of the scammers. It’s so sad that the only people I ever hear from are just slaves to acquiring this substance called money that rules their lives and makes them engage in disgusting behaviours in order to procure it.

I don’t care about money. It means nothing to me. Granted, I don’t have any to care about, but suddenly having some would still mean nothing to me, would not fulfill my soul in the way I’m seeking to be fulfilled.

I care about finding connections to something deeper than this shallow pool I’m forced to swim in. The water is cold and my flesh is starting to shrivel. I need to get out. Outside of this construct, outside of this pseudo reality, and connect on a higher level. To someone, or something, greater, bigger, deeper, more profound than anything we can find on the surface. I know it’s out there, and so my journey will continue.
