I am tired of social media

I am tired of all the social media. Snapchat, instagram, Facebook and all the likes somehow only suck off my time and energy. And I often wonder how this all could happen. An entire generation on the breathless chase through the Internet, looking for continuous uninterrupted satisfaction. By getting more likes, comments and sometimes by pure hatred. Everything moves at breakneck pace through the network. Just on the “top”, only a few seconds “further down”, and forgotten tomorrow. Higher, faster, better, more. Everything revolves around itself. Around yourself. The large, almost infinite wide Internet stage. Where only the grandiose is being acted. It is being showed off. And lied. Everything is generated as an end in itself. And even more honest stuff is simple there for calculation and expediency. The pace is getting faster and faster. But nothing of it lasts. Nothing but a few numbers on the screen. Virtual likes and followers. And they get dusty faster than anyone can scroll. Only the time doesn´t come back. I’m tired. So fucking tired…

Ich bin müde geworden. Social media alias snapchat, instagram, facebook und co, saugen mir irgendwie nur noch die Zeit und Energie weg. Und ich frage mich oft, wie es passieren konnte. Eine ganze Generation die sich atemlos durch das Internet jagt, auf der Suche nach stetiger ununterbrochener Befriedigung. Durch immer mehr likes, comments und manchmal auch durch puren Hass. Alles schiebt sich in rasender Geschwindigkeit durch das Netz. Gerade noch “oben”, später schon “unten”, morgen schon wieder vergessen. Höher, schneller, besser, mehr. Alles dreht sich nur um sich. Um dich. Die große, nahezu unendlich weite Internetbühne. Auf welcher nur grandioses gespielt wird. Geprahlt wird. Und gelogen. Alles zum Selbstzweck generiert. Und selbst ehrliches gibt´s meist nur aus Kalkül und Berechnung. Das Tempo wird immer schneller. Was bleibt? Nichts außer ein paar Zahlen am Bildschirm. Virtuelle likes und follwer. Und die verstauben sich schneller wie man scrollen kann. Nur die Zeit die kommt nicht zurück. Ich bin müde geworden. So unglaublich müde…
