I really like this conclusion paragraph. I definitely feel that everything I do through my phone is a much worse version than if I had just done them irl. Socializing is the biggest one. It makes me very happy to be with friends, but when I check up on people through FB etc I may get some instant gratification but it really just leaves me a little depressed in the end.

I added about 2,000 people after pulling off a political stunt.

Lost all control of my facebook and have a ton of randoms.

Made it very easy to leave, now my friends actually have to send me messages to tell me news.
