The Plight Of Our Generation

Why is it that we believe that everyone is interested in our lives? We live in this state of hyperactivity on social media, updating every second of our day, somehow believing that people must be so fascinated by us and our 'happening' lives. When did we become so narcissistic? Why did we become so narcissistic?
When I bought a Moto E, everyone was shocked because, how in the world can I live without a front camera? How can I survive without taking a selfie? Nobody really cares, we're all too caught up with our own lives to focus on someone else's visit to Starbucks or whatever the latest cool place is. For that matter, why do I think people should read my blog? I'm not saying anything revolutionary or game changing. I'm just a young girl, not even a dot on the world map. Who cares what I say? How can I be so presumptuous as to assume that anybody would want to read what I write?
Why should every meal begin with a photo taken on Snapchat? Why should a photo session take place every time you meet a friend instead of actually having a conversation? Why? We've forgotten what it is to converse. When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation with a friend that didn't consist of what's up's and Ks? I'm equally guilty. I do it too.
Why can't we put our phones down? Why can't we stop making those goddamn duck faces? Frankly, I just find those disturbing. Why can't we stop adding filters to our pictures trying to make ourselves look beautiful in pictures? You don't look like yourself after a point, you know that? And you aren't fooling anyone. Why has taking selfies become a necessity? Why can't we just be? Live in the moment and not ruin it by saying, "let's take a selfie". Don't let it pass you by. Learn to be content. Learn to be happy. And then you won't feel the need to show it the world. Your smile will speak for itself.
