Disconnected Relationships
I recently discovered that my former roommate got married, and it's left me with mixed emotions. On one hand, I'm genuinely happy for her, and I feel a sense of pride. However, on the other hand, I can't help but feel a tinge of sadness, and I'm not entirely sure why. It's somewhat disheartening to realize this significant life event through social media, and it underscores my love-hate relationship with these platforms. They keep us connected, yet they can make us feel incredibly disconnected. It's an unusual feeling to find out about the life events of people I used to converse with daily through social media updates. They share pictures or short clips, but there's no direct message or conversation. I understand that no one is obligated to notify me personally, but it does make me reflect on the depth of our relationship. Am I merely a spectator from afar, just another follower on their list? It highlights the lack of genuine interaction that often happens
