I’m Still Here

I posted on Instagram yesterday. You know. One of those posts you don’t really want to make but you feel like you have to, if only to let everyone know: “I’m still here!”

So I trudged through it. My weekly contribution to the ever-growing mountain of digital garbage.

During the process of trying to find the perfect words to express my emotions, I was repeatedly interrupted by people who love and care about me.

A text from a good friend. Ignore.
A call from my mom. Declined.
Even my dog wanted my attention.

I don’t know what was going on yesterday but people seemed hell-bent on connecting with me. They must not have known I was already busy staying connected.

I finished my post and put my phone away.

Two hours later I picked my phone back up and went straight to my post to like the comments and write small blurbs of thanks to people I don’t really know.

I never called my mom back but hey, at least the rest of the world knows I’m still here.
