I find myself thinking about things, the real things in life. What I should, or shouldn’t be doing. How I can fix, or change that. And especially, with things that have to do with myself.

Who am I? What do I have to offer? What can I do to magically improve my experience here? Where should I start?

All things I tend to google, late at night, after being emersed in distractions all day. Knowing there’s an internal issue, keyword internal, I go to the web not necessarily for second opinions any more, but answers themselves. It’s a very seductive avenue of information.

Attempting to use the internet to solve the challenges we feel on an internal level can further weaken our already damaged relationship with the self. Especially, when we expect to find our answers digitally encoded into the screens.

I think, using the web for second opinions, exposure, and new information is all great. The dangerous part, is when we start to accept the idea that the web with knowing us, more than we know ourselves.

Because we spend so much time getting the “correct” answers on the internet, for things we consciously look up. I think, we start to subconsciously think we can trust the internet for a lot more than it’s accountable for.

Ie, asking the internet for permission to do something in our lifes, asking the internet what’s the best choice in my situation, asking the internet how to feel, or deal with something tramatic.

I think, we should all remember. That the internet should be used to learn concepts, ideas. But we, have a responsibility to make our own decisions for our own lives. Our choice, our life.
