Long time, no see

Hey everyone!I hope everyone is doing amazing. I haven't been active here for a while now, not that I thank anyone has missed me. 😅Life has just been very busy. The season's changing and we're on our way to autumn. In some ways I will miss summer, but I also feel like autumn is the ultimate cozy season. There's certainly something special about sunny autumn days. I can't really shake the feeling of feeling like the times we're living in is too stressful and too difficult. I can only speak for myself, but I feel like I miss the times where stuff was easier in many ways...? In a lot of ways we have gone forward, but what I mean is how we're constantly aiming for everything to be "easy". I think a lot of people will agree with me when I say that I dislike AI, that technology can't replace humans etc etc. But I'm genuinely scared of where we're going. I feel like people can't "think for themselves" anymore, I feel like kids can't be entertained unless it's by a screen, the constant need of being online, the constant need of being reachable etc etc. I just want to get rid of all that stress. Since deleting Facebook and TikTok I feel more at peace. I actually don't miss it at all, but it feels boring to feel lonely in a room full of people who are glued to their phones, doom scrolling. I do still have Instagram, but I rarely use it, but whenever I do, I always feel kind of sad over the fact that I almost never see any of my friend's updates. 1. People rarely post updates anymore. 2. If they do, it will disappear among all of the "recommended for you"-shit. Most of my friend update their stories, but I will never get used to "stories". I don't really get the point of stories? Maybe I'm too old, or too stupid. As usual, I don't really know what I want to say with this. I just miss a time we're not living in anymore.
