This is a Public Service Announcement: Social Media is ruining your life.

Science says it is making us lonely and depressed.

The day has come.

You and I know it well.

Perhaps you are going through it right now.

Somewhere a voice inside of you is whispering it’s time.

You are tired of the endless scrolling through perfect photos of pretty places, happy smiles, motivational quotes, emotional anecdotes.

But yet something keeps you coming back.

This sick urge you fight but yet can’t quite give up yet.

Every morning before you do anything else you grab your phone and immediately without even thinking check your notifications.

How many likes did I get?

Did I get any new followers?

Maybe you troll your ex’s account.

Maybe you troll Cardi B’s instagram for your daily dose of raunchy entertainment (personally guilty).

Whatever it is, it’s got you in this mindless trance.
