Hate my beloved media

I heart my media because I’m able to stay connected with friends and relatives depsite geographical distance.

I heart my media for the comfort I find in it, how I can feel close to someone without being with them.

I heart my media for the time and effort people put in to make everyone feel welcomed, in a safe place where everyone is accepted.

I heart my media that enables me to discover new locations, foods, cultures, fashion, movies and lifestyle.

I heart my media because I am constantly discovering who I am as a person and understanding who I am in this world.

I despise my media because I realize how dependant I’ve become of it.

I despise my media because my days always start and end with the on/off button.

I despise my media because makes me consciouly aware of my time dedicated to it.

I despise my media because it makes feel guilty, ashamed, stressed, often not worthy and has been a real source of stress and lack of confidence.
