Testi

LinkedIn notification you started a new position Senior Analyst at a Fortune 500
I click I read I see your professional headshot polished successful distant
Facebook notification you're tagged in 47 photos from your work retreat in Colorado
I scroll through them faces I don't know inside jokes in the comments I don't understand
Instagram notification you posted a story your new apartment city view hardwood floors
I watch it it expires in 24 hours so does my glimpse into your life
Twitter notification you retweeted an industry article 4:32 PM on a Tuesday
I favorite it you don't notice I'm just one of 847 followers watching
This is how I know you now
Through algorithms and updates
Through curated highlight reels
Through what you choose to share with strangers
Which includes me now I'm just another stranger
Watching from the feed
LinkedIn notification says you got promoted again
Instagram notification shows you're living well
Facebook notification says it's your birthday
I comment happy birthday with everyone else
This is our friendship now reduced to notifications
Digital updates replacing conversations
I know your career moves but not how you're feeling
LinkedIn notification is the only way I'm hearing
About your life about your world
LinkedIn notification digital distance
That's our friendship now just algorithm assistance
You updated your profile picture new haircut new confidence new life phase
I see it in my feed between someone's baby photos and someone's vacation
I remember when I'd be the first to know about your haircut see it in person
Now I'm just one of 1200 people getting the update simultaneously
LinkedIn says you got endorsed for 12 skills by people with impressive titles
I don't endorse you because that feels strange impersonal insufficient
For what we used to be for what we used to mean to each other
So I just watch just scroll just collect information from a distance
This is how I know you now
Through profile updates and posts
Through career milestones shared publicly
Through what the algorithm shows me
Which is everything and nothing
All surface no depth
LinkedIn notification says you changed companies again
Instagram notification shows you're traveling to places I can't afford
Facebook notification says you're in a relationship
I react with a heart emoji feeling empty feeling bored
This is our friendship now reduced to notifications
Digital presence replacing actual relations
I know your resume but not your real life
LinkedIn notification cuts like a knife
Reminding me we're strangers
LinkedIn notification digital distance
That's our friendship now just public existence
Sometimes I start to message you
Type out how are you really doing
But I delete it because
We're not those people anymore
We're not the kind of friends who ask that
We're the kind of friends who watch from feeds
Who know each other's public faces
But not each other's private needs
And I miss the version of us
That didn't need algorithms to connect
That didn't need notifications
To know what the other person's life looked like
But that version doesn't exist anymore
So I just scroll just watch just witness
Your life from the outside
Through whatever the algorithm decides to show me
Today
LinkedIn notification says you're speaking at a conference
Instagram notification shows you're successful and happy
Facebook notification says we haven't talked in three years
But we're still connected digitally barely
This is our friendship now just notifications
Digital updates algorithm relations
I know your career arc but nothing about your soul
LinkedIn notification is how I watch you from this hole
Of distance of time of different lives
LinkedIn notification digital distance
That's our friendship now just online existence
Just pixels and updates and algorithmic persistence
That we're still somehow friends
You got a new job
You're engaged
You moved to New York
And I'm still just watching
From my feed
