What is going on here?

So like any normal person in today's modern society I have a Facebook account, big whoop right? The problem with that is the fact that while you grow older and start to remember how your good old childhood was like and how everything was new and you were trying to find yourself, you start to realise that everyone else was doing what you were doing as a kid and that nothing you've done was actually new and creative or invented by you actually its probably the exact opposite to that, you know like those special little games play with your siblings to pass the time such as the human airplane or those donkey rides you give your little brothers or sisters around the house and not to forget the sliding down the stairs in old boxes your parents don't want any more.

All the things no one teaches you to do as a child just the things you naturally thought you made up in your big creative mind. Guess what, turns out most of the people in the world have been doing it for years and I was just another mindless shell following the never ending, ever looping path that so many others before me have followed.
I don't think its the fact that other people are doing what I thought was a personal self-made moment that bothers me, I guess its the fact that I thought I had invented something fun and amazing, a game with my siblings that only we had experienced and had memories about, memories to pass down to our children or tell at camp fires when were old and grey.

All of that has been taken away from me and just like that with a click of a button and a few minutes scrolling through popular posts I've come to realise My childhood was and is indeed a lie. Thanks a lot Facebook and other Social Media Platforms.
