Sometimes I think about how peaceful life must have been before we could see every thought another person decided to type into a little box.

You might occasionally overhear something embarrassing at a restaurant, but then you could simply leave. Now it gets screenshotted and passed around until millions of strangers have absorbed it against their will.

These cringey screenshots are the kind that make you put your phone down, walk around the room, and wonder if knowing how to read has improved your life. Posts that should’ve stayed in the drafts forever. Unfortunately, somebody saved them before they could disappear.

Even more unfortunately, we’re all going to look at them now.
