good morning....... coffee

Why is it that on a working day the bed feels more comfortable as on weekends? It’s almost like the moment where a good things feels so wrong or a wrong thing feel so good. Can we compare love life to workdays and weekends? I would almost say yes, love, relationships it all seems to be more like work and days off as to the simple thing I thought it was when I was in my teens. Sometimes it feels like very stress related, you seem to have to create your image and keep it up 24/7 . compared to a job where we have , if we are lucky a 40 hour week. Looking around me, close and further away, I see people off all ages busy with having and maintaining their image, their profile, be it in or out a relationship.

It has become a crazy world, I think something of the individual has gone lost over time. When the world changes, like going into the digital age, so do people but didn’t we invent machines to make our world easier? Nowadays we seem to invent and develop ideas on how, why and what we should love, behave, maintain or split from. Emotions seem to be taught and not felt as an instinct, so many of us who rely on the internet, chat rooms or forums to have our feelings analyzed and our next move planned.

It’s become a digital process, and I believe there is an app for it. As always much of who we are or what we want to be or have is dictated by Hollywood or the press, where are you, the person I fall in love with based on a feeling? I do still have them, those butterflies and those moments where one thinks: “damn you are a good looking piece of…..”. looking around me I see people noticing others, and shortly after, if this doesn’t do unnoticed there is a surge on the internet, might he be on grindr, or else, maybe he or she checks in on Facebook and we can leave a little message. It has taken away some of the adventure and made it a little more stalk like performance, without us calling it that. My young friends falling in love or just having the urge for lust sometimes make me laugh, the process they go through to pick either an adventure or something more serious, well guys even to “more” can be a hell of an adventure…. Since we started using the tools to make our life more easy, it’s become a hell of a job to fit in. sure we can maintain friendships more easy over longer distances, but we already did, it just needed a little work called, writing be it a letter or a postcard… it just took a little longer, but a simple xmas card could make you smile for days. I will not go into cliché mode and call it the good old days, it had just a little bit more romance than stress in it.

Yes, I do enjoy the Skype moments with my friends in other parts of the world, I am happy to see their faces and laugh together, it has its beautiful moments the “digital” age. As a member of the before and now, I can compare the moments, of normal life, personal and now the Facebook one.

Modern times brought me also good things, but as a true romantic I long for some not so digital moments, and yes the music I listen is brought to me via Spotify, so even wanting to go back to candlelight and music and a good bottle of wine, I do depend on the internet. 

Time to get some sleep now, and just before turning of the light I need to use my app to program my coffee machine for my old-fashioned coffee for breakfast. Good night you all!!
