the greatest contradiction about social media,
is everything is eternal
yet fleeting.
once its out there;
it can be screenshot
shared
reposted
or just glimpsed at
by anyone.
by everyone.
but it documents
our transitions
our aging
weight gain
single
in a relationship
its complicated
single
and so on & so forth
the interweb remembers
the stranger who stumbled upon my facebook remembers
the ex stalking my instagram remembers
so maybe i just always wanted less of me… out there.
to be found, to be seen, to be remembered.
those who matter, know.
i dont need social media as my walking bulletin board, i told myself.
but something about you,
makes me want to open all the windows
& shout from every single platform
how crazy about you i am.
in that annoying,
in your face,
probably bold,
all caps,
don’t-fucking-care-who-unfollows-me-after-this kinda way.
you make me feel
incredibly lucky to be with you
& its the first time
i want to share this moment with the world.
