Connecting Without Social Media

In October of 2022 I deleted all social media except for Wattpad and YouTube, for reasons that include mental health. Although this has come with many benefits, there is of course the obstacle of not being able to share my stories across other platforms in order to reach more people. I'd like to share a short story (it's more of a long free-verse poem but I'm not entirely sure what to call it, I'm so sorry lol). This non-fiction work is about what it's like feeling hidden from the world in a society that is chronically online, not excluding myself! This October of 2024 will mark 2 years since deleting Twitter, Instagram, TikTok etc (everything except Wattpad/YouTube) and I really felt the urge to share my bubbling emotions with all of you lovely people.
