This Digital World

Remember when things were so beautiful you wish you had something to take a picture? Then we got cameras and they just can't seem to be able to capture the moment just right. The picture doesn't do the true, authentic beauty any justice. Then conversely, when you show a picture of someone who doesn't look "picture perfect" so you quickly explain it doesn't do that person any justice? Everything seems to be done in a second hand matter. How we receive news, how we communicate, break up with someone, ask someone out, how we get to know someone. What's next proposing to someone? What happened to the real, true, beauty in the moments that cannot be captured. That only the ones experiencing will understand how fucking incredible it was. It seems as though the technology undermines the moment. Making it hopeful it could happen again because we can look at it right whenever we choose. Reliving it again and again until it becomes dull. Faded. Exposed. Forgotten.
