Listen up, all you a-holes still on social media wasting your time, which you obviously don’t value the way I value mine. You need to know something.

I’m quitting social media.

Yes, I’m announcing it on social. SHUT UP.

You created this toxic cesspool, aka your newsfeed, or else you wouldn’t be reading this. Not that I’m part of the problem. Or that there is a problem. It’s FINE if you stay. You’re fine. Stay.

I’m saving myself.

But first, let me answer your burning questions now since I won’t be around to answer them later. Unless I feel like it. YOU DON’T KNOW ME.

Why announce on social that I’m leaving social? Why not just leave? HAVE YOU MISSED THE WHOLE POINT? We’re shouting into the void to go viral.

B̶u̶t̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶n̶’̶t̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶e̶d̶!̶

I̶t̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶I̶’̶m̶ ̶b̶o̶r̶e̶d̶!̶ ̶

I̶t̶’̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶o̶ ̶o̶v̶e̶r̶w̶h̶e̶l̶m̶i̶n̶g̶/̶h̶u̶r̶t̶f̶u̶l̶/̶i̶s̶o̶l̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶.̶

Never mind. Next objection.

You say you’d never go to a party then tell each and every person there how lame the party was before leaving? Don’t think I haven’t.

I write entertaining stories that sneak up on you. FLORIDA GIRLS, about a troupe of swimsuit models on a war bond tour who take on the Tampa mafia, is out now.
