There's no app for job satisfaction. No app for quicker self-realisation. No app for joy and love of life. No app to avoid struggle or strife. No app for meaningful inter-relation, for self-esteem or bond formation These each take time - with patient dedication, a repeated test of your true determination. These take quiet contemplation and louder considered conversation. A real-time flesh interaction, with authentic, humble co-operation. I'm meaning a dangerously high contagion with the risk of personal dissatisfaction. These take sustained concentration, a firm hand on the neck of your current situation. These take more than a one day binge; you'll need to commit to more than a fling. More than a lazy swipe to your right, more than a stand for just one night. These take guts and sweat and tears, you might even find that some take years. But this is life beyond the screen, this is how it's always been. So lift your head and take a breath, we'll stand right here and lend our strength. All I can promise are tears and laughter and friends who'll stand closer thereafter.
