I’m skeptical of trying to put myself on too much of a pedestal for what things I choose to consume, but I do feel with some conviction that I am 100% making the correct choice but trying to only minimally connect with social media for any kind of reason. With full awareness of just how snobby I sound saying this, I see the shit my co-workers and friends talk about from TikTok and instagram etc, and I’m just thinking the entire time “this is not that funny, or interesting” It always feel the anthropomorphized equivalent of a dog’s chew toy.

Stay conscious of your usage and don’t let it eat into your psyche, but you don’t always have to consume the “Best” media at all times, it’s okay to eat some junk food from time to time.
