I graduated high school in 2014. This means, besides feeling much older than I actually am when surrounded by many people in my program, there is an additional bit of distance that I created with myself and the world that they have experienced. Facebook was the only beast of a social media site when I was in high school, twitter started but felt like a very niche kind of thing, me and my friends were all on there and it really felt if it was just something we all shared together. Fast forward a couple years and it absolutely exploded. So while my twitter presence is still active (I cannot help but spending hours scrolling through each and every day), I have a very distant relationship with social media. I have a tik tok, but do not post, I have an Instagram but rarely post there either (couple times a year at most). It makes me feel as if I am a wanderer in somebody else's world, it feels that these apps are not necessarily mine to claim, but I am just floating around the margins....
