Confessed Addictions

I’d ADMIT it—Yup, I’m Addicted. UnApoloGeticAlly so. My friend, a fellow Addict, tells me THERE are WORSE addictions… and HONESTLY? i can TESTIFY to that. Amen, BROTHER. 😏

But LET’S be REAL… The INTERNET… it’s a LUST of its own kind, isn’t it? ENDLESS. intoxicating. IMPOSSIBLE to fully RESIST. Even with all the info at our FINGERTIPS, i find myself CIRCLING the same handful of sites, OVER AND OVER, savoring their FAMILIARITY.

And oh… IM! Instant Messaging. HOURS of whispered SECRETS, LATE-NIGHT conferences, debates over every tiny or TITILLATING DETAIL. Those were my PLAYGROUNDS. Those were MY nights. 💬✨

Other sites? Only if i MUST: research, settle ARGUMENTS, feed CURIOSITY. I remember ASKING a friend to DIG info for an assignment..he’d LECTURE me about LAZINESS while secretly HELPING me. That’s the THING—i don’t LIKE the INTERNET when it DEMANDS labor. TRUE pleasure is in PLAY.

And YES… I’m HAPPILY addicted. REAL detox? That comes when CHILDREN arrive, when LIFE calls for RESTRAINT. Until then… i INDULGE.

If the INTERNET were SEX… what WOULD you BE? Go on… your TURN to CONFESS. 😈
