When their artistry appeared to be complete, we waited to see if they would turn their attention to the stage at last. They had already missed the bulk of the action, but there was time for redemption. Not the case. Instead, they refreshed Instagram incessantly for the last half of the concert, waiting to see who tapped that heart button. In between refreshes, each girl zoomed in on her own face, verifying that she looked okay.
Truth be told, they probably would have had a better experience if they sat in their living room, listened to John Mayer on YouTube, and drank a $10 bottle of wine they got from Harris Teeter. They certainly would have saved a lot of money.
But these girls aren’t unique. I just happened to be situated behind them at that particular concert. As a generation, we’re really, really bad at living in the moment. Instead, we’re so focused on showing other people that we’re living in the moment, or making them jealous that they’re not living in our moment, that we’ve forgotten how to actually do it ourselves.
I’m the first to admit that I’ve done what those girls did. I’ve been physically present somewhere, but spent most of the time staring at my phone, seeing who looked at my Instagram story or responded to my tweet. When I was single, I had evenings where I inadvertently used my friends as background entertainment while I scrolled on Bumble, hoping I would meet someone great. (Spoiler alert: I did.)
