Monologue- GMS

Bzz bzz

I wake to the brightness of my phone screen

And that blaring alarm that disrupts the most heavenly sleep I’ve ever felt

“5:25 WAKE UP NOW OR YOU’LL MISS THE TRAIN”

The day has begun.

But none the less, priorities.

I get ready and prepare to leave the house with one thing on my mind.

Something that I need to accomplish every day or I’ll face unimaginable scrutiny from my peers.

Something so essential to the success of my life both online and off.

Alas, the sunrise

“Cli-click”

The perfect angle for the perfect shot

“Good morning streaks *yellow heart emoji*

Streaks. The most pointless commitment I’ve ever made

Competing with people to see who can get the highest number,

Forcing me to come back day and night,

With no reward for my efforts

other than a fancy new emoji when we hit 100

one hundred days, of snapping back and forth.

Day by day, photo after photo;

We don’t even talk anymore.

From a pleasant conversation, to a green check and an S.

Is it worth it? You tell me.

“Goodnight streaks *purple heart*
