Life's hard because of Technology?

Arriving from work, I've seen a young couple holding hands and laughing freely with no shackles and responsibilities, while walking, I thought to myself, I remember those gold old days. I remember being young and free. Looking up to the sky, I wish I can go back to those days. Arriving in to the office, filled with thoughts full of regrets, he was startled by his friend named Daven "What's the long face haa?", I said, "Shut up let's just survive this day". Daven laughing while leaving " I have something to tell you later, don't go home yet", I said, "Why can't you tell me now? I'm here", Daven "Later". Daven is the boss of this company, we used to be the campus buddies, until now we may be friends but there is barrier since I'm his employee now and his the boss. Oh well, time to work I really want to thank him, he really helped me out letting me apply to this job, I'm thankful to him. 8 hours later. As I finished my job, we met at the local restaurant and have some dinner. I greeted Daven and he said "There will be a reunion, are you coming?" I said "Woah, woah chill no greetings? Why are you telling me this, you know my predicament, I'm struggling." Daven " So what? It's been 5 years since we graduated college, our old classmates are back they demand a reunion." I said, "No thanks, I don't want to". As we ate, Daven asked me " Are you still with your cellphone addiction? I said "What do you think?"

Cellphone addiction may it be seem bizarre, but in our generation who's not addicted to our Cellphone? We can't live without it and people go crazy if there's no internet. For instance, why do people become lazy? With the stimulants of such apps like Toktak and Mygramsta and Mobile Gregends people are addicted to it to the point of, some people don't even bother to shower or get out of its bed because the reels are entertaining. In this life of mine, I used to be so disciplined, what happened? Little by little, I got addicted and hooked of this reels. While I thought to myself it's just a passing time as years passed, I can't function without watching reels and videos. I also got addicted to games. Think about this now, while cellphone addiction may sound cliche, what do you think are we doing now? Checking our cellphone every minute, cellphone while walking, cellphone while eating. This cellphone addiction is no joke. As I realized, I'm already too deep in the rabbit hole and cannot escape. This ruined my life since I should be going to gym instead I was entertained so I didn't. I realized I should have gone to a therapist to help me out but instead I got hooked in those reels so called self-improvement. If you feel what I felt seek out therapist to help. As we finish eating, I got home and immediately reached out to my phone to watch some reels, minutes later, I realized I need to stop watching it, closing my phone. Staring at the ceiling, College reunion ha. Hm, I didn't expect it came to soon, I haven't improved my life yet. Closing my eyes, minutes later I feel asleep.

As my alarm rings, I thought to myself haaa another hell day, why some people thank god for living everyday? I just want to end it all. Staring at the ceiling, I shouldn't have those thoughts. I still need to improve my life, welp time to go shower.
