Someone throw me a time machine, a flip phone, a 1970 Camaro, something, anything. Get me out of this millennial generation and give me some reality.

I’m an absolute hypocrite because, here I am, with the closest thing to a time machine (an iPhone), I’m glued to my phone, and I have a 2016 Honda Accord. I am the definition of a millennial. Yet, I can’t help but sit back and realize that everything about the way this generation communicates...sucks.

I stare at the text bubble, waiting for what the person I’m texting is going to say. I worry if my tweet was appealing enough to attract at least one favorite. I spend more time looking at my lock screen than anything else in the world. And to be quite honest, I think about what I should do in order to make my pictures look more “Insta worthy” and aesthetically pleasing (stop judging, you all do it too).

Side note, what does Insta worthy even mean. Someone find an accurate definition and run it past me. Please. I’d love to hear it.

I must admit, I love new gadgets and updates, and I love that the speed of light is becoming more of a reality than an impossible equation, but it really just hurts my heart knowing that there is so much potential for friendships, relationships and families, and the only thing that’s stopping it is ourselves.

I wish that when I went to lunch with my friends I didn’t feel that if I didn’t post a picture somewhere, it didn’t happen, and I hate that the only way that you know if a dude is slightly into you is if he DMs you once and doesn't talk to you again for months.

It's safe to say that social media and the speed of the world wide web is increasing every second, but so is the power of our generation. So technically, it really is up to us to better ourselves and make use of what we have in the palm of our hands.

But hey, I was born into this generation for a reason right? I guess the best way to love what I’m stuck with is bettering the problem within myself first. So wish me luck.
