A Happy Place

I'm sure by now you heard of this a thousand times now but even after the figure hits the millions, it will still stay true to it's meanings. The world is housing at least 7 billion people right now. And almost everyone is connected by the existence of the Internet and social media. Decades ago, the average friends one could call would probably be less than a hundred. Now, there's at least three times of that in your Facebook friend list.
So why is it that we are more lonely now than decades ago? Why is it that the loneliness is more apparent now than then? It's so tiring trying to stay relevant with the people you call friends. Sometimes you don't even know whether they truly like you.
We all wear masks. What if they don a mask when I'm with them, but then take it off when I'm not? What if they truly dislikes me? What if there's not a single person in the world who likes me? What if I'm just meant for a reclusive life in the woods.
I'm afraid of the truth. I guess one of the reason why I don't like the holidays is knowing that no one truly enjoys talking to me? Most of us live and die by our phones. Maybe my dislike of the holidays stem from the reality of the absence of a true conversation of our phones. The black screen of the phones seems blacker, but the draw of it is like those of the black holes light years away from us. I'm not ready for the truth.
Honestly, I didn't want to end the post in such a sour note. But I was planning to do so until I saw a video on Youtube. This Youtuber is a traveler and an amazing videographer. You would think like other Youtuber out there, he would be those jolly and jubilant kind. And that is what I got of off him when I first saw him in FunForLouis's videos. But his recent videos made me realized that he is just a human after all. And among all the Youtuber I watches, he's probably the one I resonate too. I mean I don't travel as much as him. I don't have the skills like him. But I feel like he's like me. Or rather, I'm like him.
And here's the video ; enjoy. Will I find my happy place? Maybe I'm blinded by the search.
