Entitled: Millennials Anonymous
Posted by ashleekarin
Bottoms up.
~*~
Tilt the hour glass
of the World Wide Web back
and watch your time
slip right through the cracks.
~*~
It’s a
socially
acceptable
addiction.
~*~
It’s like bringing a
bottle of whiskey
to the office or the bedroom.
~*~
Do they like my status?
Did they love my photo?
Would you swipe right?
~*~
Right?
~*~
It’s like write or die.
But I don’t mean novels.
~*~
I mean catchy
155 character phrases
that will get you
retweeted.
~*~
It’s repeated:
“Entitled.”
The most connected
disconnection.
“Millennials.”
The lost generation.
~*~
Instafamous.
Instaconnection.
Instagratification.
~*~
Instadepressed.
Instasuicide-rates-on-the-rise.
But it’s all lies.
~*~
There is so much
pain and loneliness inside.
And social media
is the disguise
~*~
Why didn’t you snap me back?
I saw you read my chat.
It really isn’t all that.
~*~
Well now that you’re trending…
Trendy.
Why didn’t you friend me?
~*~
Dogsnaps.
Dadsnaps.
Naked girl snaps.
~*~
Screen shot.
Unwanted eyes.
Did you see that snap she sent last night?
Privacy has no where to hide.
~*~
Hello @username.
Hashtag-bff.
Hashtag-when-was-the-last-time-we-actually-hung-out.
Hashtag-k-thanks-bye.
~*~
The most followers is linked
to the least amount of friends.
~*~
Don’t pretend.
~*~
That S.M.S. is really an S.O.S.
And when is the last time you really
L.O.L’d?
~*~
Time to update your
calling card
And your tag line.
Put up a really sexy pout.
Tinder out.
About ashleekarin
Every Sunday I tried to post updates since I succeed in camping the doorstep of the world during a 110 day road trip around the USA; The Roadside Bears blog was then brought head first into the internet world (changed to ashleekarin.wordpress.com). Included are the details of our adventures and how we are doing, as well as tips on how we made a road trip around the USA happen. It’s important to pursue your dreams to the end, even if you end up with nothing. After all, you only have one life to live; go big or go home. Join me vicariously through this blog – AshleeKarin.wordpress.com – and experience the adventure of my life. Viewer discretion is advised, as you will most likely witness a very hungry person freezing as they sleep in their car. I will always be planning the next great adventure – so don’t miss out, subscribe to the blog today!
