Have you ever talked to objects, and paused as if waiting for a reply? Let me let you in. Whenever I get home, I greet my house, "Heey my house, I'm home, miss me? Aww, I missed you too." Before I sit down or offload myself😂. When I want to wash the dishes, I tell them, "let's get cleaned up." I tell my clothes when I intend to fold them, "Wait, I'll get to you in a few, I just want to watch this video." When I leave the office in the evening I wave it goodbye and whisper, "see you tomorrow."
And now you ask me if I can survive being the only human on earth? The same me who humanizes AI because sometimes it's better talking with ChatGPT than explaining yourself to humans only to get ignored? The same me who can reply to a video verbally instead of going to the comment section, and/or, reply a text in my head only to realize I didn't type and send a reply?
When I think about my social interactions, I get convinced that I can survive alone. And by doing so, I would love to assume that the internet will be intact, they will not mess with the movies, music will be there, as nothing can go wrong with music, there will be food, water supply, and above all, no illness and no zombies. Yeah, I'm good to go.
I will feel like I have been given a chance to be whoever I want to be. To act as whomever I want to act, with no judgment from anybody but me. I know I will be lonely, but with time, I will get used to it. I can even see myself jumping from one apartment to another, flexing all the designers, toasting to the wind while flipping my hair, like a model, shouting on top of my lungs whenever I want to without the fear that someone will hear me...
And if another life form comes to earth, that can read, and/or write, and/or talk a language we can both understand, well and good, I'd be glad to welcome it to planet earth. Where we could exchange stories of survival, laugh at the funniest and cry at the loneliest times.
I have survived needing to have somebody by my side and reminding myself that I came alone on this earth and I will leave alone. Therefore, I believe I can survive being the last human standing.
Thank you for reading❤️!
