"My Life is Online" is a short looping poem about internet dependency and a fear of going out into the world. The main character is stuck in a cycle of chat rooms and trying to break free, but ultimately falls back to the comforts of the online world.

Fun Fact

"Why so old looking?"

I have a soft spot for older operating systems! Maybe I miss the computers from my childhood, maybe I find them fascinating, I'm not entirely sure.
