Downloaded Tik Tok yesterday to see what all the fuss is about, and to find stuff to send to friends. It’s great for recipe inspiration, but the other stuff is problematic. The trending searches for one, tend to be click-baity. People putting people down. Echoes of people feeling miserable, and living vicariously through others by scrolling. I just felt a bit icky being on there, and remembered how mind numb I felt by being on there, like I was trying to escape something.

Deleting the app and Instagram were the best things I’ve done. I also turned off watch history on YouTube so it stops recommending me videos. Now I will go and enjoy a movie. Movies are way more satisfying.
