The Screen
Life is tough
There are people in it
And it's your choice to choose which people you want to keep.
They're like those cool rip-off toys you saw on TV when you were young
Looked so awesome, but when you finally bought it and started playing with it
You lost your excitement.
You realize the toy looked cool on a screen, but that screen changes things.
That screen changes your vision.
Unable to see the real thing.
Life is filled with actors.
Even reality TV is fake sometimes.
Find the real people.
The people doing things
Amazing things
Not for the screen
But for themselves.
Without having to look to see if people are watching
Without having the temptation to put it on camera
Without having to search for the blinking red dot
They do it in the shadows
In the dark
But there WILL be a time
When their darkness
Turns into light
