If you pour over every note I've ever posted you will eventually find my first one, which says that that particular note is the first bit of social media I had every participated in. That is true.
Why is it true? Because I (born in 2000) was part of the very last generation before social media became ubiquitous even for kids. I did not own my first cell phone until I was 16 years old, which even for my era was quite late, but for kids these days they're getting theirs at 8, 10, 12, whatever.
While I wasn't using my time on my cell phone, I got to see the effects on others of using theirs. These effects were almost never positive, so I resolved to stay away from that internet world as much as I possibly can, and have continued that to this day. I feel the pull every now and then, but by and large I consider myself lucky to have been spared the worst parts of internet addiction.
Indeed! It's the whole idea of getting 1% better every day, and then after a while you're a whole new person. Very rewarding. Thanks for reading, Sheridan!

I really like the insight that change is incremental, then compounding. Great way to put it and make change seem less overwhelming but high reward.
