A Moment in time

i think we forgot the importance of context,

trying to keep-up with the content.   

give me context.

i need context.

it’s hard for me to keep up..

not with your updates,

but with the story line(s).

is this how we want to be remembered ?

is this how you want to be remembered ?

is this how i want to be remembered?

frozen still:

picture perfect,

& wordless.

through a series of stories,

but story-less.

in this moment in time….

highlight reels,

& low self-esteem.

socially connected,

& still isolated.

put down the machine.

tell me your story,

& let me read you these words.

get to know where i come from. what i’m going through. what i’m looking forward to.

instead of assuming based on the things that you see… based on the things that i decide to share.

there’s so much i don’t show but can tell.

i’d tell you if you’d ask or engaged me.

…beyond boosting your engagement.

…beyond boosting your own ego.

but, that’s a conversation for the soul.

when you are ready to have it…
