—PTY

You shouldn’t have picked up the phone.

You should have done something productive.

You shouldn’t have given yourself over to the brainrot.

You know better.

You did it anyway because you can’t stop.

You can’t put the phone down and walk away.

You have to mindlessly scroll.

You know it will leave you empty, yet you continue.

Boredom seems like a made up concept.

You don’t even remember what that felt like.

If you’re young enough, boredom never existed.

The screaming in your head won’t stop if you’re not scrolling.

SCREEN.GOES.UP.YOU.DIE.SLOWLY.

You need to be putting in the hours.

You need to be taking in the information.

It’s bad for you, but you cannot stop.

Day in and day out, you’ll continue.

Until one day, when you won’t.
