For what it’s worth, I was here and really enjoyed reading your words, and I’ll continue to do so while cheering you on, as I just subbed.
Our timelines are similar, but our journeys took different routes: I stayed away from social media, turned inward, and journaled my life away. Since I started sharing personal essays on Substack, I’ve often wondered if I’d feel more comfortable had I never given up on social. Ironically, reading your words gave me a clue to this reverie, and it seems we’ve arrived in a kind of shared space.
Thank you again, Wil. I sometimes wondered what life would be like if I wasn’t into social media back then. Would life be any different? Would I be able to stay away from it? Probably not, since a lot of the jobs I did would cross paths with it in some way or another anyway.
