The Digital Age.

Isn't it weird...in this age of technology...that you can GET so much more information than you're supposed to have?

Ok, so maybe this will make me seem like a stalker...I've accepted that.

But you can look up a lot about a person, and you can know things they haven't told you. And then you have to bloop right back into real life, and what do you do with that information? You kind of have to pretend you don't know anything about it. But you do. And that's strange.

I know it's a curse of the digital age or whatever, but that's NOT what I'm talking about. I'm talking about how that affects PEOPLE. And relationships. And how you function, day to day.

I just think it's strange that you can go about your life and live and interact and think nothing has changed in a relationship and then you see something online (with a tag date of..I don't know, a few hours or days ago, or something) and realize it's actually been there, running like an undercurrent, and you'd been going on like nothing happened and that person has actually been feeling however their blog or status says but you never knew because they never said anything and you never picked up on it and you never saw it til just now.

Does that mean emotions in this digital age aren't real until you see them on your feed?

Or when you actually know something BECAUSE it IS posted, but you don't see it in real life, do you say something? To try to help, to let them know you're there? Or do you ignore it cause they seem fine in real life and you don't want to look like a stalker?

What's real? Which? Internet and posts and blogs or talking and seeing. You can't deny that both have validity, and you CAN'T deny that we live in BOTH worlds. It's just a question of which do you take cues from when.

That's so, so totally twisted.
