Twitter

Hey everyone, I’ve been doing some serious thinking lately.
 
If you know me, you probably know I’ve got this Twitter addiction I just can't seem to get over with. No matter how hard I try, I keep getting sucked back into it. But truth be told, being on Twitter doesn't lift my spirits... it's more like a joyless roller coaster ride that's been taking a toll on my mental and physical health.

So, I’m handing over the keys to my Twitter account to someone I trust in real life. This anonymous associate is going to be my Twitter bouncer, keeping me away from shitty Twitter discourses. But, I'm not gonna stop posting on that hell app. I’ll still be sharing my drawings and dropping by to give your replies a thumbs-up every now and then.

I won’t be checking my DMs in real-time anymore. Instead, this trusted friend will collect all your messages and send them to me via good ol’ snail mail every few weeks. Yeah I know, it’s a bit old-school, but I’m hoping it’ll give me some breathing space from the Twitter chaos.

It's not an easy decision, but it’s one I’m making for my own sanity. Twitter’s been messing with my head and seeping into every corner of my life. By putting up this barrier, I’m taking back some control over how much of my life is consumed by social media.

This move isn’t about ditching Twitter entirely... it’s more like hitting the reset button. I want to hold onto the parts of Twitter that make me happy while avoiding the parts that drag me down.

Hopefully I won't go back in a week.

I needed to update how this blog looks anyway.

You can find me on Instagram, Bluesky, Newgrounds and DeviantArt.
