Go out into the world he said, it will be fun, he said.

I'm the type who would honestly just like to keep to myself. The living love to meddle so much! I mean, I used to be one of the living, and I've dealt with so many meddles. Never thought that I would still have to deal with the meddling after death!

Father pushed me out. He wanted me to interact with a human. What? I thought we were never meant to disturb them. But he said "Come on son. You know, how people report supernatural occurrences? Well, they are caused by ghosts wanting to socialize!"

"What.. is that true?"

"Probably." And he turned away.

I've always rejected socializing. The meddling, the arguements and a lot of troubles I'm not willing to be any part of, I've always used every bit of my will power to avoid them during my living days.

Have you seen what the humans can do? Really the escalation is unbelievable. I was killed in the year 1978. Now we are in the year 2023. I remain in my 20s. I don't know, that's just a ghost thing. The 20s people in my time are a complete opposite of people of the same age in 2023. One of the first things about the teens now that horrifies me is the fact that they could spend a whopping amount of their day just looking at these little rectangle things. Last I heard from a group of high school girls, the rectangles are called "smart phones".

Everything is accessible from this tool called "the internet". You could literally search up anything and everything and get a result within a matter of seconds. Having a tool like that would be so good in my time, since I usually have to go to the library and canvas the shelves and browse through multiple books to get the relevent information I require all for the sake of a project that would have to be submitted the very next day. As much as I would love to have something like that in my time, I'm actually scared about how people are so addicted to this internet thing. Social media, that kind of thing.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that there are many aspects of the the modern human that can just frighten me. What I've talked about to say just barely scratches the surface. But I know not every human being on the planet now is scary. Perhaps, I just need to make an effort on my end.

Complaining doesn't leave a good look on me, anyways.
