Heavy on the "scrolling TikTok at 1am will not help one get closer to the campfire"... earlier this week I got so sick of mindlessly scrolling that I deleted all social media and it's forced me to do more meaningful things to fill my time, like actually participating in the daily family Wordle group chat or experimenting with the coarseness of my coffee grind to pull a good espresso shot. I feel so pretentious saying this but social media really just eats up your time and spits you out and by the end of a scroll you've done nothing. Nice read! I'm gonna look for a book club to join.
I don't even read your comment as pretentious as much as I read it as passé—like, we pretty much now definitively know that social media is a waste of time (at least, it nets a higher cost than reward). Now, it's about figuring out how to use it in a less depleting way way—or, as you did, delete it completely and replace it with higher quality leisure. Love the espresso exploration!
