Fallback Down

The ability to engage and communicate with

real people is so rare nowadays

People are more comfortable talking through the third party 

(technology, gadget, etc)

The comfort they found is similar to the comfort you get in reading chick lit

or watching romantic and happy ending movie

The same pleasant feeling you get when eating marshmallow 

while embracing your mellow moment

Its so comfortable cause its so easy

They become bolder, talkative, initiative when they talk through their third party 

Not afraid to show their feelings, more of a risk taker. 

Its so effortless for them when they have all the gadgets protecting them 

They hide from reality and use gadgets as their defense

 

Wait till you meet them in person

Suddenly they are the most reserved person you ever met

Stammer who's always running out of words 

Awkward like a total geek

Mind-numbing like an exhausted granny

Their mind is diluted because 

They refuse to face the truth 

They refuse to grow up

Some people couldn't see the thin line 

between real life and illusion 

Technology and all its advanced gadgets is 

definitely a wonder of invention

But it gets ugly when one attach to it

especially when you're around with others 

and you can't control yourself by keep checking on your gadget

Real life is not in the box, its outside

Its found when you talk face to face

connect one and another

when you brave enough to show your true colors 

Real life is found when you're able to make peace with 

all your shortcomings and the shortcomings of others

while freely flaunting your flair and 

humbly accepting the strength of others
