This Is the Room: Living Inside the Internet and Forgetting How to Leave

Realistic photo of a pale woman illuminated by her smartphone in total darkness. Her gaunt face and wide eyes create a chilling, haunted look — symbolizing screen addiction and digital possession. Memento Mori aesthetic with chiaroscuro lighting and cinematic realism.

There’s a room we all live in now.
Not a house. Not a sanctuary.
But a performance arena without walls.

You don’t walk into it.
You wake up in it.
Cradled by screens, nursed by algorithms,
haunted by notifications that whisper: “You’re falling behind.”

There are no windows in this room—
just reflections.
And the mirror doesn’t show who you are.
Only who you want them to see.

You are always “on.”
Always reachable.
Always curating.
Always available—except to yourself.

And here's the truth nobody says out loud:

You don’t log in anymore.
You live inside it.

The internet is no longer a tool.
It’s an architecture of the mind.
A simulated ecosystem we call “connection”
but feels more like surveillance dressed as friendship.

This is the Room.
And most people never step outside long enough
to remember they were born with a soul.
