Modern Valentine’s Day
Technology takes over everything
Modern Valentine’s Day
We sit so close, yet far away,
hearts distracted, minds astray.
Fingers scroll, the screens glow bright,
love is there—but out of sight.
Some say it’s ignorant, some say rude,
but scrolling kills the awkward mood.
I’d rather Facebook, like, and roam,
than sit and listen to him moan.
A kiss emoji, a heart, a like,
digital love feels oh so right.
when the battery fades to black,
will we have each other back?
Have each other, to hold on tight,
Valentine’s Day will then be alright 👍

So You Decided To Become a Nurse Practitioner:
So you decided to become an "Advanced Practice" nurse. Congratulations!... is what I would say if this was a good idea. Grad school? In this economy? What were you thinking? Likely it was something along the lines of either 1) “I've seen these other chucklefucks do it— Why can't I?” or even 2) “I've got a nice career, I should shake it up. I miss feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing.”

The endless search for balance between screens and life. You really nailed it with this one
Nice work
Valentine's in the time of social media. Viewers will find a way to love and friendship. Good job.
Ah you nailed the times we live in, and everyone wonders why most young people suffer form social anxiety.
