Ignore ts i needa rant.
Honestly, everytime the social media ban is mentioned I get really anxious and bummed out. The idea that all my friends will be cut off from me is honestly frightening.
I am a fandom kid, and I chat with these people everyday. We've made art and edits for each other, celebrated birthdays together, etc. I have spent years building a platform across tiktok, insta, etc, full of hours of dedication of edits and art, and the idea that all the connections, content can be cut off from me just like that is terrifying.
My mental health has lowkey improved ever since I started talking to people online, my best friend I met has bpd and even through time zone differences, we manage to chat everyday. She gets me, we can talk about tim drake, batfam, comic books all day, we bought matching plushies from ikea, even across the country, she's my best friend. We have tried messaging through imessages, but i didn't work as neither of us had the money to message internationally.
My financial situation isn't too good either, so I can't do as Anthony Albanese suggests "pick up footy, music, reading.." etc. Not to mention, I already do ballet, I have lessons everyday and train (muscle work, stretching) all the time, inbetween piano, guitar, photography, and school and tuition, theres no time for me to sit down and watch netflix or youtube, it is simply easier for me to open tiktok and scroll. Academic pressure as well has been crazy, I skipped two grades and am in all extensions, which may seem like a flex, but its a lot of pressure trying to keep up with everyone. On top of that, my family often argues, as my brother is very right wing, the rest of us are left wing, my mother is very expecting and has mild ocd and my dad is lazy and strict.
Social media is honestly whats kept me sane these past few years.
