I wonder whether I am born in the wrong era

I wonder whether I am born in the wrong era
as I don't seem to connect.
All these networks, devices and media don't help either,
as I long for the painstakingly written long letter,
infused with the aroma of the writing pad and the person writing,
wanting to engulf in their thoughts and walk in their shoes for a while. 

I wonder whether I am born in the wrong era
as I seem to value relationships differently.
These quick fixes and phobia people attach to commitment 
aren't my cup of tea.
Because I come from the loyal tribe, where we stick through thick and thin. 

I wonder whether I am born in the wrong era
as my worldview appears to be unique.
The generation above me understand me 
more than my peers and contemporaries. 
I am told I think beyond my years. 

These thoughts aren't new either, 
but heightened with the passing of time.
I value philosophies and find solace within the pages of a book
I find meaning in the quality of life and the bonds made, 
and abhor the petty thoughts and the decietful behaviour of people.
