You’re always hungry
You have strong opinions, especially about what is right and what is wrong
You’re very visual
You like things to be correct
You worry that social media lets people easily find information that confirms their biases
You worry that you’re too attached to modern technology
You worry that the internet is undermining your attention span
You’ve gotten through a lot this year
You find your friend’s online bragging irritating, but you press the “like” button anyway
You hope those compromises you made were worth it
You have wondered what “feminine” really means
You’ve recently had some improbable sex dreams
You sometimes feel embarrassed about your ambitions
You find reading a book for too long tiring, even though you spend a huge amount of time reading online
You are sceptical of the terms “introvert” and “extrovert” because they are too broad to properly encapsulate your social style
Every now and then, you experience a flashback to something you feel shoulder-tensingly-guilty about. Your heart jumps and you can almost hear the moment. It makes your skin prickle. This flashback is more crisp and detailed than almost all your other memories. Your original revelation of guilt happened in slow motion.
You worry that the internet is undermining your attention span
You already read that line
If somebody asks you who you are, you normally tell them who you are connected to or what you do. If you try to work out who you really are, independent of your connections, you become unsure of yourself.
You wonder whether you have made the right choices
You wonder whether you love too much
You wonder…
You wonder whether this poem is about you
