chronically online

sometimes i feel like im super chronically online. i mean i speak fluent brainrot and my screentime is higher than id like, but then i see some people on the internet that are so braindead and deluded its like an involuntary reality check. compared to these people im a well functioning member of society. im a certified grass toucher. quite literally. ive been too busy to hike lately but when i can its one of my favorite hobbies. i have a job, i have plenty of irl friends, im an active participant in my community… i could go on but i dont want this to turn into a brag fest xd

i dont really consider the internet to be a big part of my life. its something i use for work and something i use to keep in touch with people i know irl, but its primarily just something i use to kill time. when i go offline for a couple days my lifestyle doesnt really change much, i just have a couple extra hours of free time.

i think people take the internet way too seriously. it can be a useful tool or a source of entertainment, but its not really much outside of that. like 95% of the shit people talk about online doesnt matter in the real world. theres nothing wrong with participating in those conversations, just remember that it literally doesnt matter whatsoever. if youre doing something that doesnt matter and youre not having fun then whats the point? why are you wasting your time doing something that feels bad for no reason?

ok i lost the plot a little bit. i absolutely spend a lot of time online, but being retarded on the internet is just a way to kill time. fucking around online is like watching a sitcom or something. if youre taking it so seriously its negatively impacting your real life something has gone horribly wrong
