This is obviously a crisis. I press refresh over and over
again on my iPhone but its no use. I can hardly believe what has appeared on my
newsfeed. I give up on the failed mobile Facebook stalking and resort to
texting. One after the other I send messages to my best friends about what has
just transpired. Truthfully he and I no longer talk. We aren’t even friendly
towards each other. That doesn’t change that we are perfect for each other. It
has been the same story for five years. Easy come and easy go. Yet each time his changed relationship
status appears on that tiny screen my stomach drops and my heart starts racing.
He just keeps going through these girls. What will it take for him to notice my
existence? Sighing I return to his page. I continue to hit refresh in the
miserable hope that it was a mistake or my eyes has deceived me the dozens of
times before that. A phone call pops up on my screen and forces me to quit
staring and instead discuss the possibility that I am truly invisible with each
of my friends that calls me in the next few hours. Is it a problem when you
need to carry your phone charger in your schoolbag for use throughout the day
in class, at the library or at Starbucks? Certainly not when social emergencies
such as this occur.
