Just because you are honest and straight-up doesn’t mean everybody else
is too. That’s the problem with living online – the anonymity of it
all. Man, you could sit in Jozi and say you’re in Berlin. Who’s going
to care enough to check it out? We’re all just nano-freaks running
around in an alternate universe. For some lying and going online goes
hand-in-hand. And both are addictive: log in, tune out. It might as
well be shoot up, chill out. You should seriously try that sometime –
the chilling out I mean.
No one really gives a shit, precious;
not even me, I guess. Just go with it. Be nothing, have nothing, care
about nothing. Ghost girl. It’s not that hard, and it sure as hell
beats the touchy-feeliness of real life. And once you get it right
online, you can download that feeing, or then lack thereof, and apply
it irl. Removed from love, removed from hurt, and disappointment; no
more anger, no more fear.
Total numbness. Total
