Is Twitter just for the chaotic and unhinged?
Five months ago I said my goodbyes to Twitter. We parted ways after years of ups and downs. I thought I was done for good.
On October 2, 2022, I said hello to Twitter again. *cue The Sound of Silence by Paul Simon*
What was it that prompted my great return? I was hungover. I said fuck it. I had shit to say. I felt bold. I was surrounded by hungover friends and literally everything being said was hilarious.
Gabbing about the night before. Like swapping war stories. Only more chaotic as we all had flights to catch.
Amongst the grumbling and cloudiness, we managed to find time to be continuously funny as fuck. And that’s when I thought – I should tweet about this.
And now, 11 tweets later, I don’t feel that same boldness that I felt that day.
I’m normally pretty chill, surprising, I know. But really. I meditate, take long walks to clear my mind. I’m still always funny, but I just don’t feel the same need to share.
So that leads me to my question – is Twitter just for the chaotic and unhinged? Maybe.
My other evidence includes the fact that none of my “real” friends are on Twitter. I have my Twitter friends™ (shouts out).
Maybe we are all chaotic or unhinged? I honestly wouldn’t doubt it.
We’re all mentally ill? Could be.
We joke through our trauma? Ok, ok, I hear you.
We’re fucked up.
And that makes us funnier than everybody else.
