The Internet is a giant, swirling black hole that consumes all who enter into it's vices.

Technology is its mother, and humans are its food, fed carelessly by the thousands into its mouth.

The world is corrupt. It feeds on power and fame and money. It detests the kind-hearted and loathes all who speak a word of humility.

I search for happiness-- a break from the depressing realm of reality. I long for some type of boost-- a pat on the back, a compliment, a good grade...

All are worthless.

No matter how many A's I receive, no matter how many people think I'm pretty, smart, unique, independent-- none of it matters. Not one pleasure of the world can suffice for the genuine need of a human for love.

On the bright side, there is a well that never runs dry. I need to stop searching in worldly places. The Internet is in fact a black hole. It provides temporary "likes" and "friends" but none of them are real. None are perfect, and eternal. All will one day die.

God has hope... among despair and hardships, there is hope.

Among false realities, there is truth.

Among hatred, there is unfailing love.

Among the thirst for contentment, there is a bubbling spring of fresh, pure water that will never leave you thirsty again.

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

-John 4:13-14 NIV
