Musing Mondays #14: The Existential Weight of Loading Screens

You ever realize that loading screens are the modern version of waiting rooms? Just… digital purgatory. They’re spaces where nothing’s really happening, but you can’t go anywhere else either. You’re forced to just be—in limbo—while a system decides when you’re allowed to move on.

Sometimes it feels like life does that too. Like you’re stuck in your own personal loading screen—waiting on health to improve, jobs to call back, people to change. No progress bar. No music. Just vibes. And maybe some spinning wheel of doom.

And what do we usually do during loading screens? Grab our phones. Scroll. Mentally bail. Because being alone with our thoughts—even for a few seconds—can feel unbearable. But maybe those moments could mean something. Maybe waiting is underrated. Maybe the in-between is where we actually process.
