Adventures In Scroll-Land

Every morning, I dive into a digital adventure, beginning with my faithful guide, Google. From “how to boil eggs” to “how to understand the stock market” (or more realistically, how not to), Google has it all covered. Yet somehow, despite endless searches, I still don’t know how to fold a fitted sheet.

Next up is YouTube, where I upload my own videos on Sharon Inspires, hoping my words might reach and uplift someone. Between work hours, I tell myself I’ll just watch for five minutes, but that quick tutorial soon turns into hours of makeup tips and bizarre DIY projects. I’m convinced I could build a treehouse by now—if only I had a tree.

Ah, Amazon. I came for socks but ended up with a mini waffle-maker. It’s like the digital Bermuda Triangle for wallets. One minute I’m saving, the next I’m wondering why I need a pickle-flavored lip balm.

Then there’s WordPress, where I attempt blogging with dreams that maybe, just maybe, my posts will inspire the world. I stare at the blank screen, pondering if my thoughts on cats or coffee mugs might spark a revolution.

Ah, Kindle—a world of endless books at my fingertips. I’ve got enough e-books to last several lifetimes, yet most remain halfway-read. I start a new one, hoping it’ll be the story that finally pulls me away from screens, only to be interrupted by a notification from Instagram…

Speaking of Instagram—the land of perfectly curated lives. Here, breakfast bowls look like art, workouts are flawless, and every smile is filtered to perfection. Meanwhile, I’m scrolling in my pajamas, crumbs scattered around my keyboard.

Finally, LinkedIn: my last “productive” stop, where I add skills like “time management” (ironically) and browse profiles of people who seem more “together” than I ever will be.

And of course, the day ends with Netflix, Prime, Zee5, Sony—any platform will do. “Just one episode,” I tell myself, as the night fades into dawn. And as I power down for a brief nap, I think, “Here’s to tomorrow—my digital wonderland awaits.”

“In this endless scroll, I search for meaning, but sometimes, it’s just about the joy of wandering.”
