Even though I was dead tired from work today when I reached home all I do is get on the laptop, like I've been deprived connected to the world wide web, like I'm missing out on EVERYTHING.
Which is pretty sad actually, because more often that not, even if i'm logged on 24/7, it does not necessarily mean that I'm "connected" to anyone, or worse, those important to me.
And somehow this is what our society has become. Okay too generalizing here but I'm trying to paint a clearer picture.
The use of social networking sites has become so vastly needed in our everyday lives it's scaring me when I take a step back to look at the extent of how things has been.
As a Communication student myself, I am aware of the pros and cons of social networking sites and how it has helped me in so many ways to keep connected. Yet increasingly, I am starting to feel the need to disconnect from the world wide web. There are times I want to deactivate my Facebook because I am no longer interested in what others have to say when they appear on my news feed. The only reason that I am not deactivating it is because of all the groups that are important for the latest updates that MAY concern me. -_-
To be connected via the world wide web has made interpersonal, face to face connections more precious. Which is why I am determined to meet all of my favourite people before year ends, to make it count, because seeing them in person beats typing words and emoticons accounts for anything else and I have already have it planned because it would suck real bad not to see any of them before the year is over. :')
And when next year comes along, it'll be the same thing all over again, proving to them that they really matter to me and I don't ever wanna lose them, connecting with them via social networking sites when I can't be with them and cherishing every moment in person.
Special case to Nica :( I just hope my letter would suffice for now till I see you again.
