Clearly it's one of those sleepless night where I torture my eyes with the light of my PC screen. Despite the words that a legend said "If you cannot sleep in the night, probably because you are awake in someone's dream", it's part of the major disadvantage of technological development.
I often wonder what it was like to be young back in a time. You know?, for instance, in mid 70's and early 80's where there was no virtual space. I know the fact that if I turn off my laptop right now and lay still, I'd definitely fall asleep, but I won't. Because I like to be stay late and work while others are sleeping. (and yet writing nonsense stuffs here)
Sometimes I miss the life I had when I was young, early 2000's where we had dumb phones instead of smart ones, where we listen songs thru FM Radio and MTV Asia instead of youtube, where we send text messages instead of pm or dm. I don't know, but it seems like we used to put little bit extra effort to whatever we do. My sister used to chat with some guys using Nokia phone. Geeeez, that sound of buttons was annoying. Oh, and they used to exchange poems. The one I remember was like "Thousands of stars admire only you, thousands of flowers fall in love only with you..." and goes on. I'm not sure whether or not people do the same nowadays...
I also remember how I used to admire "Dancing Lights" on the roof (a car lights which comes thru the window). It was the only joy of my sleepless night back then. Oh, and also I miss the noise which my granny used to make when she sleeps. It used to make me feel so secure. The only occasion where I scared to die was where black beetle army (haha) went thru the city. It truly was a nightmare. I heard cracking sound along every step I took. In fact, they, black beetles, was dropping off from the roof as I go through. I cried like a baby, because I was.
Back in my middle school, we used to go to school an hour before class starts, just to play. Games we used to play were kinda weird tho hha. One of the games was "kick fighting". Literally, what you have to do is just kick whoever standing. In the high school, we used to play soccer outside of school building where had not a single piece of grass. Later on, we started to play PC games after school. Gosh, we used to fight a lot because of stupid games hahaha.
Someone asked me once that if I had a time machine, where would I travel? Past or future?. And my answer was PAST. Not because I hate changes nor I'm not curious about my future, because I want to feel old vibe at least once. Life really was awesome back then. I was lucky enough to experience piece of that livelihood, I suppose. However, Things change, people change, feelings change too. Every once in a while I like to think about good old days. I bet you do the same thing.
I wish the world stuck right here, right now. Maybe because the changes we had were more bad-ish than good-ish. Who knows, maybe one day I will be writing about 2017 like "ohh, good old days where I used to stay all night long and write stuffs". Even though technological development helps us to be more efficient, I think we need to stop here. No mo advanced technology, no mo harm to our social communication.
I'm not sure If I agree with what I wrote above when I wake up in the morning. But, hey, whatever, cuz at least this is how I feel right now.
