We're not living.
We're all just dying a minute a time.

With every lavish dinner that we buy,
We're not trying to savour it.
Instead we build our Instagram profiles
one post at a time.

If I asked you right now,
What would you do if you were the last person alive on Earth?
You'd have no concrete answer to that.

Because once you'd get past that string of thoughts
where you want to ride the coolest cars,
or live in the craziest places
or try some deadly yet expendable weapons by yourself,
you'll be left blank.
Because nobody would be there to watch all your triumphs anymore.

That would be the moment when you'll realize
How less you've lived and how much you missed.
This write-up comes from an era where social media dominates over society.
We all are trying to build our virtual lives with all those components which we think are missing from our real lives.
I read a very good quote on this as well - Social media has such a huge impact on our lives and because of this we try to compare our behind the scenes with someone else's stage life (social media profile).
