Previous month, I informed you about curbing my dependancy to social media and I have basically traded in just one timeline for an additional. But, hey, at minimum this one’s healthier?

Anyway, I really feel like I’m the very last human being on the earth to discover this marvel. But if you want to know how to keep track of your measures on your mobile phone, ship me a DM and I’ll gladly welcome you into the 21st century.
