Too Busy

Is this what life has come to? We are all so busy. Busy in our lives and own world. Head down, looking at our phones, tablets and the TV.

When did we stop to talk to the person sitting next to us? When was the last time you spoke to family/friends and gave them your 100% attention and focused fully on what they were saying?

I feel quite lonely today. Everyone around me is too busy with their own lives to spare me a moment of their time to talk. To talk about my day and how I’m feeling. To connect.

It’s ironic. This modern world we live in, with endless ways of communicating, and I’m feeling lonely. I want some human contact and interaction.

The worst thing of it all is that I’m no better. I’m just the same. Too self involved to take a couple of minutes to give my sole undivided attention to those around me and check if they’re ok.
