Get offline

Why am I embroiled in a futile search on the internet

The answers I am looking for, I am not going to get

When consumed by self-doubt and despondency

Why do I think the internet would give me

Solutions or positive reinforcement of some kind

The more I browse, the more depressing content I am likely to find

And if I check social media, my feelings of inadequacy would be

Heightened several-fold, that is the outcome likely

*

Why do I not train myself to explore

Activities that fill my cup some more

Read a good book or try to write

Even when circumstances do not feel right

Go for a brisk walk or talk to a friend

Do something such that valuable time I do not spend

In browsing the internet aimlessly

Let my spirits improve significantly..

  1. And miss going down the rabbit holes that we always do when we are looking for something? It’s crazy how much time we can spend ‘researching’ on the computer and not even realize it.
