through my seventeen-year existence
i have realized that every human can connect to one another.
we are like the paper dolls children cut in school
connected... united.

like the "red string"
the ancient proverb stating that there is a red string linking us all
it can be tangled, knotted, stretched... but never can it break.

however; society is blind.
technology has become an evil nobody notices.
invested in social media, i have seen things that will destroy families.
staring into the abyss of the internet, into apps or infamous gossip
people do not realize that it is NOT important.

seriously now, what ever happened to going outside everyday?
a powerful quote that inspires me daily is to act like a child.
spend time outside, sleep more, eat a balanced meal.

we are blind. humanity is only driven by the sight of others.
stop trying to impress others and live for YOU.
this life only comes once- who wants to waste it in a fake, materialistic world?

i hope one day we regain our vision.
i hope human beings can have actual conversations without the use of a phone, computer or tv.
i hope we will see that our actions impair the future generation.
has anyone noticed how these younger folk are so impolite and irresponsible?

let's set down the technology.
stop drinking and smoking and having meaningless ***.

stop being blind society because this life truly is beautiful, you just can't see it.
