Unplugging
I love the thought that a generation who grew up with the internet is now searching for meaning in real life
Unplugging and being mindful
Taking time to journal each day
And carve out a space for themselves to be
I remember trying to keep a diary when I was younger, but it was too slow for me
The future was fast and exciting
Just around the corner
The hope that we didn’t know we were searching for
Now, after all this time
I have returned to pen and paper
And I have concluded
That the kids might be onto something

Thoughts
This is some of my favourite artwork. It is by Kristian Donaldson from the comic book series Supermarket. I love the way he used hand drawn line work before developing it in the computer. So much has become digital and I love that but being hands on with something is very special.
