LEONA

I want to be someone who brings people together. I think a lot about my ambitions (maybe I’m getting old), and my time on 𝕏 has cemented in me the idea that we all crave connection but have become very bad at friendship. The abundance of contacts in the social-media world has cheapened everything. We’ve become casual with everyone because, fuck—why not? You can always tap the screen and move on to the next person. But life is not an all-you-can-eat buffet. The supply is finite, and so is your time. So I don’t want to be part of the problem. I want to strengthen bonds between us, scattered as we are across the Earth. I’ll be unblocking a few people I cut out because they said or did a thing. No one should be held to standards so high that they can’t be annoying, petulant, needy, or even a dick sometimes. We should all get over ourselves (me first) and treat others with the patience we wish we were shown.
