How are you using social media these days? Posting, scrolling, DMing, deleting?
Which app do you delete and redownload the most?
I think I may enjoy watching Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie interviews even more than I liked watching Heated Rivarly. Theyโ€™re adorable!!
Posting on Instagram often feels like throwing yourself into a cold, indifferent void where a few nice people pat you on the back as you careen toward oblivion.
